Atlanta Accountant Seeks Trump Pardon After Conviction Linked to Chrisley Tax Fraud Case

• Share on:

Peter Tarantino, an accountant convicted in 2022 for assisting reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley in tax evasion, plans to seek a pardon from President Donald Trump after the couple received clemency. Tarantino, who served 18 months of a three-year sentence, claims he was unaware of the Chrisleys' attempts to conceal assets and believes the prosecution was overly aggressive. His wife, Cathie Tarantino, criticized the Chrisleys, asserting that her husband was unfairly convicted due to his association with them, while legal experts express concern that the pardons may impact future federal law enforcement efforts.
