Todd, Julie Chrisley released from prison after Trump pardon
SUMMARY: Todd and Julie Chrisley were released from prison this week following presidential pardons from Donald Trump. Todd was serving a 12-year sentence in Florida, and Julie a seven-year sentence in Kentucky, both convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud involving over $30 million. Their decade-long reality show, “Chrisley Knows Best,” showcased a glamorous lifestyle prosecutors say was built on deception. Their daughter Savannah campaigned for their release, claiming they were political targets due to their conservative views. The couple credits God and President Trump for their freedom. Their return to the public eye includes a new show on Lifetime documenting their experiences.

Todd Chrisley made his first public comments Friday since being released from prison following a pardon from President Donald Trump.

Visa crackdown on Chinese students coming, State Department’s Rubio says
SUMMARY: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced plans to “aggressively revoke” visas for Chinese students, especially those linked to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields, as part of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Chinese students are the second-largest group of international students in the U.S., comprising about a quarter of all international students during the 2023-24 academic year. The administration also plans to revise visa criteria to increase scrutiny of applicants from China and Hong Kong, citing concerns over espionage and intellectual property theft. Visa interviews have been temporarily paused to enhance social media screening.
