Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Trump for Pardoning Reality Stars Todd and Julie Chrisley: The ‘Real Reason' Is Because Their ‘Daughter Is Good Looking' And Supports Him
Jimmy Kimmel latest gripe against Donald Trump is his decision to pardon reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who headlined the USA Network series 'Chrisley Knows Best' for years before being convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud in 2022. 'You know, the real reason Trump released the Chrisleys is because, A, their daughter's good looking, and B, she spoke in support of him last year at the RNC,' Kimmel said during his May 28 late night monologue. 'Turns out that was a savvy move. President Trump didn't just commute their sentences. He gave them a full, unconditional pardon.'

She reacted to the news of her parents' pardon in a video post in which she said: 'Thank you, President Trump, and I vow to stand next to you and your administration in exposing the corruption and continue fighting for the men and women that are in prison.' Kimmel fired back: 'Cool, we'll get you a flight on the next ticket to El Salvador.' 'You know, Joe Exotic is livid today,' Kimmel added, referring to the viral subject of Netflix's 'Tiger King' documentary. 'He has been begging Trump for a pardon for quite some time, and now they got it instead… He's so desperate, he is now begging Khloe Kardashian to ask Kim Kardashian to ask Donald Trump to help him get out of jail. Being alive in 2025, it's like always being on mushrooms.' In June 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty of falsifying documents to defraud Atlanta banks out of more than $30 million through fraudulent loans. They also hid millions of dollars they earned from their reality show from the IRS, a federal jury found. Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison while Julie was sentenced to serve seven. Before Trump's pardon, the couple was supposed to stay in prison for another three to seven years. Trump, who said in a video post that Todd and Julie had received a 'a pretty harsh treatment' for their crimes, reached out to Savannah Chrisley ahead of the pardon and told her: 'It's a terrible thing, but it's a great thing because your parents are going to be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow. We'll try getting it done tomorrow. I don't know them, but give them my regards and wish them a good life.' In his latest monologue, Kimmel also called out Trump for some of his other ridiculous pardons as of late. 'He also granted clemency to a man convicted of tax evasion a month after his mom dropped a million bucks at a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago,' Kimmel said. 'Paul Walczak was an executive at a nursing home [who] withheld more than $10 million from the paychecks of the nurses, doctors, and others who worked at his facilities, and used that money to buy a $2 million yacht and a bunch of stuff at Bergdorf's and Cartier.' 'So he's good. He's a good guy,' Kimmel joked. 'When [Walczak] was sentenced, the judge told him there's 'no get-out-of-jail-free card for the rich. And he was right: the card costs a million dollars and is to be delivered in person by his mommy.'Best of Variety 'Harry Potter' TV Show Cast Guide: Who's Who in Hogwarts?

Emergency crews continue to fight wildfire east of Churchill Falls
Emergency crews continue to fight a wildfire burning near Churchill Falls Thursday morning. In an early morning update, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said that traffic is able to pass on the Trans-Labrador Highway, east of the community, after closing a stretch of the road Wednesday evening. The RNC says it will continue to monitor risk to public safety. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro says the fire continues to move east, away from the town, and that fire teams are mobilizing again in the morning. There was a brief power outage in the community Wednesday evening, along with towns in Labrador West. Hydro says the reason was because it had to switch the town's power distribution to another feeder after a pole line was damaged and taken out of service. The company says power lines into Labrador City and Wabush remain in service and it will continue to monitor the situation closely. An update is expected later on Thursday. Churchill Falls resident Robert Dawe posted videos of the fire on Facebook as the situation worsened Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, Dawe told CBC News that helicopters and waterbombers are active. "I was feeling sick to my stomach. My knees were weak. I was anxious, but I I felt that I needed to capture [this] as safely as I could," he said.

Former RNC chair says deporting illegal immigrant is just like Middle East insurgents kidnapping Americans
Former RNC Chair and MSNBC analyst Michael Steele compared the U.S. government deporting an illegal immigrant to El Salvador to despotic regimes kidnapping Americans or journalists while abroad on Tuesday. During an MSNBC segment, Steele argued that the U.S. deporting illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia from Maryland to the "Terrorism Confinement Center" in El Salvador earlier this year is similar to radical Islamic terrorists capturing Americans in the Middle East, or Russian President Vladimir Putin kidnapping journalists. "How is this different from when Putin grabs a journalist or some, you know, rogue group in the Middle East grabs an American, and we're sitting here fighting to try to get them back," he asked. Gop Senator Says Trump Admin Deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia Was A 'Screw Up' "Our own government did this," he continued. "Our own government snatched him up and put him in harm's way and now refuses to do what it must do and should do to get him back home." Steele made the comments to Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., who recently traveled to meet with the deported immigrant but was denied access to the prisoner by local government officials. Read On The Fox News App Ivey agreed with the former RNC chair's assessment that the U.S. is acting like Putin or Islamic extremist groups, prompting Steele to double down. "We're doing the exact same thing here in the U.S. now, with our own government. We're petitioning our government to stop seizing people and grabbing them off the street and putting them in foreign prisons." "Yeah," Ivey replied. Cnn's Scott Jennings Says Left 'In Love With The Worst People' During Clash Over Deported Alleged Ms-13 Member Steele is the latest pundit to engage in the debate over Abrego Garcia between the Democratic Party and Republicans. Democratic figures, like Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., have claimed that Abrego Garcia has been unjustly deported to the mega prison. Van Hollen previously said that it was "absolutely unjust and illegal to have this Marylander detained one more day in a notorious prison in El Salvador." He also traveled to the country to meet with Abrego Garcia, a meeting that was heavily criticized by the Trump administration. Though some government officials acknowledged in court that Abrego Garcia's deportation to the Central American country was an administrative error, high-level Trump administration officials say the illegal immigrant was correctly removed and that he's a member of the MS-13 gang. Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Mentioning the detained migrant's 2022 arrest, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Press Secretary Tricia McLaughlin recently declared, "Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an MS-13 gang member, illegal alien from El Salvador, and suspected human trafficker. The facts reveal he was pulled over with eight individuals in a car on an admitted three-day journey from Texas to Maryland with no luggage." She continued, "The facts speak for themselves, and they reek of human trafficking. The media's sympathetic narrative about this criminal illegal gang member has completely fallen apart. We hear far too much about the gang members and criminals' false sob stories and not enough about their victims." Both a federal district court and the U.S. Supreme Court have ordered the Trump administration to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's release and return to the U.S. for proper deportation proceedings. Attorney General Pam Bondi said that Abrego Garcia would not be allowed back into the U.S. unless El Salvador were to decide otherwise. "He is not coming back to our country," she said. In response to Steele's claims, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital, "Michael Steele is suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome and should apologize to all the innocent people he just insulted by comparing them to a terrorist illegal immigrant, human-trafficker, and wife-beater who had no legal right to be in the United States."Original article source: Former RNC chair says deporting illegal immigrant is just like Middle East insurgents kidnapping Americans
