Todd Chrisley Released from Prison

UPDATE: Julie Chrisley has also been released from prison, according to TMZ.
Todd Chrisley has just been released from prison.
Chrisley’s daughter Savannah came to the prison to pick up her father.
In a statement, Todd's lawyer told E! News, "Todd has been released from prison and is on his way home to Nashville. We are awaiting word on Julie."
Hours before her parents Todd and Julie were released, their daughter Savannah told the press, “We just wanna get home, we wanna be reunited.”
Savannah was decked out in pro-Trump attire, wearing a pink “Make America Great Again” cap and track jacket with his name on it.
With a big smile on her face, Savannah told reporters, “This process has been absolutely insane. I’m just so grateful that I’m gonna leave here with my dad. My brother Grayson is there to pick up my mom, so he is waiting.”
As for her parents’ reaction to the pardons, Savannah said, “They didn’t believe it. It literally came out of nowhere.”
Savannah was the one to break the news to her parents after getting a call from the president during a grocery run. She commented, “It was great. My mom was in tears.”
While Todd and Julie were sentenced to 12 years and seven years in prison, respectively, they received full pardons from President Trump after being convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud in 2022.

The president called me personally as I was walking into Sam's Club and notified me that he was signing pardon paperwork for both of my parents. So, both my parents are coming home tonight or tomorrow. And I still don’t believe it’s real. I’m freaking out."
