The federal trial against reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley kicked off in Atlanta, Ga., last week. Todd Chrisley, known for his blunt, “tell it like it is” parenting style on USA Network’s “Chrisley Knows Best,” allegedly wasn’t so straightforward with his finances.

According to prosecutors, the Chrisleys conspired to defraud banks by using false information to obtain a bank loan and failed to pay taxes on their income. In 2019, a federal grand jury indicted the pair on multiple counts of conspiracy, bank fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion.
