Share this @internewscast.com

Todd Chrisley has officially been released from prison just one day after President Donald Trump pardoned him and his wife Julie.

Todd and Julie, known for their appearances on the show ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ and its various spin-offs, were convicted in 2022 for defrauding banks of $30 million.

Julie has been serving a seven-year sentence in Kentucky, while Todd was serving his 12-year sentence in Florida. 

As reported by TMZ, the Federal Bureau of Prisons verified that Todd was released from Federal Prison Camp Pensacola on Wednesday night. Julie is still waiting to be released.

Just before Todd’s release, their daughter Savannah, who has recently emerged as a notable MAGA supporter, addressed the media outside the prison.

She lauded President Trump, who personally called her on Tuesday to inform her of his decision to give her parents a ‘a full, unconditional pardon.’

Wearing a hot pink MAGA hat, Savannah told TMZ that she is ‘so grateful that I’m going to leave here with my dad’ after an ‘insane’ two years of her trying to get him and Julie freed.

She confirmed that her brother Grayson Chrisley is currently in Kentucky waiting to ‘pick up [their] mom’ from her prison facility.

‘President Trump signed the pardons at around 3pm this afternoon and it’s all due to President Trump, Alice Johnson, Ed Martin, all of them,’ she said.

‘They have truly just shown up and looked at [Todd and Julie’s] case with a fine-tooth comb and they’ve seen the corruption.’

After her call with Trump, Savannah arrived at her dad’s prison in Pensacola at 2 in the morning on Wednesday and has been waiting there since.

‘I have not gone to sleep. I did not bring any clothes with me. I did not bring a toothbrush with me. I brought absolutely nothing with me,’ she said with a laugh. 

‘I’m just a daughter that wants to take my dad home with me.’

When asked what Todd and Julie’s reactions were to Trump’s pardon, Savannah said that he was initially in total disbelief.

‘They didn’t believe it. [The pardon] literally came out of nowhere. As I said before, I was walking into the grocery store when I got the call from the president,’ she explained.

‘I was just in such shock and such awe that the president himself called me and took the time to let me know that my family’s coming back together.’

Savannah confirmed that her and Trump’s entire correspondence was captured ‘on video’ and the he had called to let her know that he was ‘reuniting [her] family.’

She also said that Trump and her younger brother Grayson Chrisley, 19, spoke briefly ‘about the University of Alabama where President Trump just gave the commencement speech.’

Grayson is currently a sophomore at the university located in Tuscaloosa.

‘So, it was absolutely amazing. It truly was just a human to human interaction and yes, he is our president but he’s also a person with a heart and who loves people well,’ Savannah gushed.

‘Over the last 24 hours, I’ve gotten so much love and so much hate. And I’ve had people say, “Hmmm, I wonder what she had to do to get this pardon?” I didn’t have to do anything.

‘I didn’t have to do anything other than stand firm in my beliefs and my convictions and fight for my parents and fight for what was right.’

Savannah went on to declare that President Trump has given all of the American people ‘hope and a brighter future’ since stepping into office — not just her family.

‘People like to say [Trump’s] for the wealthy, for people who have campaigned for him [but] he has truly given everyone a chance at a better life and for that I will forever be grateful.’ 

This is a breaking news story. More to come.
