Savannah Chrisley skewers sister Lindsie: ‘We're no longer family, lose our last name'
Savannah Chrisley is unlocking her truth. The trailer for the 27-year-old and her family's new reality series, 'The Chrisleys: Back to Reality,' dropped on Thursday, in which she highlights the estrangement between their brood. The Lifetime show, which premieres on Sept 1, will follow Savannah, her parents, Todd and Julie, and two of her brothers, Chase, Grayson, and Chloe (whom Todd and Julie adopted in 2016). Nanny Faye will also be back, along with Julie's parents, Harvey and Pam Hughes. Advertisement 9 Savannah Chrisley slams her sister Lindsie in her new reality show. Lifetime The project will highlight Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, navigating life after they 'are eventually pardoned, released from prison and return home.' And they are not holding back. In the five-minute trailer, the Chrisleys detail having their 'own family members betray' them. Advertisement 'The prosecutor read the letter Lindsie wrote to the FBI. We're no longer family, lose our last name,' Savannah said of her older sister. 9 Savannah Chrisley opens up about her relationship with Lindsie Chrisley. Lifetime 'I mean, if your own blood will screw you over, then a stranger definitely will,' Chase, 29, added. 'This family's been torn apart. Because it was always like this and now it's like this,' Nanny Faye explained. Advertisement Todd and Julie were indicted in 2019, with federal prosecutors accusing them of submitting fake documents to banks in order to garner more than $30 million in loans. In 2022, the couple was found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion. 9 Documents from Lindsie Chrisley speaking with the FBI. Lifetime Todd received a 12-year prison sentence, while Julie was sentenced to seven years. The pair has maintained their innocence. 'With my parents gone, our household is completely divided,' Savannah said in the trailer. 'I told my parents I don't know if it can ever be repaired, honestly.' Advertisement Despite Lindsie, 35, being on the outs with her family, she gave a subtle nod to her dad and stepmom after it was announced they were being pardoned by President Donald Trump in May. 9 Lindsie Chrisley is at odds with her parents as seen in documents. Lifetime Lindsie, whom Todd shares with his first wife, Teresa Terry, wrote on her Instagram Stories, 'With God all things are possible.' The podcast host previously starred alongside her family in 20 episodes of their 10-season reality show, 'Chrisley Knows Best.' Last month, Lindsie revealed she decided to drop her surname and go by her boyfriend's last name instead. 9 Lindsie Chrisley on Instagram. lindsiechrisley/Instagram After eagle-eyed fans noticed the mom-of-one changed her name on Instagram to 'Lindsie Landsman,' she detailed the reason why. 'For a long time, I very much battled with carrying my maiden last name, and with me carrying that last name came public association,' she explained to listeners on her 'Southern Tea' podcast. Advertisement Lindsie added that the popular moniker came with 'assumptions of all different kinds, weight that I truly feel like I never asked for.' 9 Lindsie Chrisley poses with her son Jackson on Instagram. lindsiechrisley/Instagram 'And I do think it's fair to say that contrary to what some people believe, the Chrisley last name, while it did start with 'Chrisley Knows Best' — and we all collectively were doing that project together — outside of that, that last name did not create income or opportunity for me,' she continued. Lindsie admitted the last name 'became very problematic with me being associated in any capacity, in business, and has been problematic for projects that I have done post-'Chrisley Knows Best.'' Advertisement Now, the star is going by a name that feels right. 9 Savannah Chrisley with her dad Todd. savannahchrisley/Instagram 9 Savannah Chrisley gives a press conference. AP 'You know, the big question is: 'Are David and I married?' And we are not married,' expressed Lindsie. 'I feel that it is fair to say that he and I built a safe and loving relationship that allows for stability in my life and in Jackson's life, and in this chapter, that name feels like home to me.' Advertisement This isn't the first time, however, that the Chrisleys' drama has played out publicly. In 2023, Lindsie gave insight into her fractured relationship with Todd and Julie. 'There were some rumors that went around after our last podcast episode that the reason that I have not seen Julie was because she doesn't want to see me, and that is just untrue,' she said on her podcast. 'Finally, I have been able to communicate over [her prison's] form of email for the first time, but also her email is very delayed. Dad's is very different. You can send him an email and you will hear back within maybe two hours.' 9 'Chrisley Knows Best' cast. Tommy Garcia/USA Network Advertisement A year later, Lindsie confessed that her relationship with Savannah is 'nothing.' 'It's mind-blowing to me, the control and manipulation. It very much alarms me, and I'm just going to leave it at that,' she stated.

Brooke Singman Details The Latest Shocking Russiagate Revelations
Fox News Digital Political Reporter Brooke Singman joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to shed light on some of the explosive details in the appendix to former Special Counsel John Durham's report which was released by the Senate Judiciary Committee. 'Basically this document today confirms those notes that we knew about. George Soros, who runs nonprofits and obviously is a left-wing Hillary Clinton ally, her best buddy Huma Abedin just married George Soros's son So you can't say that there's no connection there. But somebody who was working for George Soros back in 2016 with communicating with someone over email days before the FBI opened the investigation into Trump and Russia saying that the FBI was going to pour more oil on the fire and investigate the Clinton plan to tie Trump to Russia. So basically, you got a Soros connected person from his Open Society Foundation communicating with someone over email, an email that was ultimately hacked by the Russians, days before the FBI opens the investigation saying, hey, I know the FBI is going to open this investigation. How? Oh, well, maybe because it was all part of this broader plan to do this. And that's essentially what I believe we will continue to uncover.'

Gabbard Swipes at Obama's Response to Her MAGA Conspiracy
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard hit back at former President Barack Obama after he dismissed her claim that his administration cooked up intelligence on Russian election interference in a 'treasonous conspiracy' against President Donald Trump. On July 17, Gabbard released a report alleging that Obama and his top national security officials conspired to 'manipulate' intelligence to link Trump to Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, calling for him and other officials to be prosecuted. Through a spokesperson, Obama issued a rare response dismissing her claims as 'a weak attempt at distraction' from the Jeffrey Epstein story. Gabbard went on the offensive on Fox & Friends. 'President Obama's very carefully worded response that came from his office, again, deflects away from addressing any of the truth that was revealed,' Gabbard said Saturday. 'They would have to admit and actually address the details of their complicity in this or their absolute failure in conducting the most basic responsibilities of, again, asking, where is this intelligence coming from?' Gabbard's allegations come as the president's supporters have revolted over a July 6 report from the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) finding that discraced financier Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019, rather than being murdered, and that no 'client list' of wealthy co-conspirators exists—conspiracies Trump has promoted and now fallen victim to. Obama's spokesperson, Patrick Rodenbush, said last week that the claims represented the 'constant nonsense and misinformation' that stemmed from the Trump administration. 'The bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction. Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,' he said. 'These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.' Rodenbush declined to comment on Gabbard's latest retort. Gabbard has described the Obama administration's intelligence findings as 'seditious' and 'treasonous,' releasing documents that she said prove Russia did not interfere with the 2016 election and that Obama officials relied too heavily on a dossier outlining Trump's ties to Russia. The Obama administration—and the first Trump administration—did not claim Russia changed any votes in 2016 but instead launched an influence campaign designed to sway voters to support Trump. Still, Gabbard has urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate and charge government officials such as former FBI Director James Comey, former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan, and Obama himself. Trump has urged reporters to investigate Gabbard's claims and amplified the case on Truth Social, sharing a nearly nine-minute segment on Saturday from Mark Levin's Fox News show that attacked Obama. Meanwhile, as the Epstein saga continued to consume his administration, Trump has deflected questions and told reporters on Friday to look at other friends of Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton.
