Todd Chrisley noticed buying after Trump pardon for fraud conviction | USAEMALL.com

Todd Chrisley looked happy as he went on his first public outing on Thursday following his release from prison. 

The 56-year-old was seen heading into a Nordstrom in Nashville, Tennessee, with his family, including his daughter, Savannah, who had fought for her parents’ release. Earlier in the day, Savannah was seen with her mom Julie.

The “Chrisley Knows Best” star, along with his wife Julie, received a full pardon from President Donald Trump this week following their 2022 conviction on fraud and tax evasion charges. 

The couple were convicted of conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans as well as tax evasion and sentenced to 12 and seven years, respectively. Their sentences were later reduced.

Trump announced the pardon on Tuesday. 

“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. Is that OK? We’ll try getting it done tomorrow,” Trump told Savannah and her brother, Chase, in a phone call from the Oval Office on Tuesday that was posted onto an X account of a White House aide. The post was captioned in part, “Trump Knows Best!”

Savannah has been advocating for their release since the pair went to prison in January 2023 and reached out to Trump for a pardon earlier this year after their conviction was upheld by a three-judge panel last summer. 

“Reunited and it feels so good,” Savannah wrote in an Instagram Story post earlier Thursday along with a photo.

TODD CHRISLEY JOKES ABOUT PRISON AS HE REUNITES WITH DAUGHTER SAVANNAH

On Wednesday evening, Todd first walked out of a federal prison in Pensacola, Florida, after serving two and a half years, according to lawyer Alex Little’s office. The release came shortly after Trump signed pardons for both Todd and Julie. 

Little’s office confirmed to Fox News Digital that Julie was released from the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky, on Wednesday night, shortly after Todd was released.

“Julie has also been released from prison and is now on her way home to Nashville as well,” Little’s office said.

Savannah got emotional outside the federal prison in Pensacola, Florida, awaiting her father’s release on Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters, Savannah said, “Honestly, this process has been absolutely insane, and I am so grateful that I’m going to leave here with my dad.” 

Savannah claimed that prosecutors had her father’s head “on a dart board” before his prison sentence. She read Trump’s pardon to the reporters, which stated an immediate release, and she said she hopes “the prison is going to do that shortly.”

Savannah said Trump’s pardon for her parents “literally came out of nowhere.”

“I was in such shock and awe that the president himself took the time to tell me my family is coming back together,” she said. During her interview, Savannah explained why her constant fight to get her parents released from prison wasn’t just for them.

“I’m literally fighting for every man that has been left behind here,” she said, referring to the prisoners in the federal prison in Pensacola.

Savannah posted a video on her Instagram on Tuesday saying she got the call from the president that he was signing pardon papers for her parents while she was walking into a Sam’s Club. 

“So, both of my parents are coming home tonight or tomorrow, and I still don’t believe it’s real!” she exclaimed.

She said she will be “forever grateful” to Trump and his administration as well as her lawyers and everyone else who “put in countless hours” to “make sure that my parents got home.”

“My parents get to start their lives over!” she added, saying she “vowed to stand next to you and your administration, exposing the corruption and continue fighting for the men and women who are in prison … Thank you, thank you, thank you and I will repay your kindness to every person that I meet, so thank God for a president like Donald J. Trump. Thank you, God, for a president who wants to restore families and loves people … and took the time to call me from the Oval Office to let me know my parents are getting their lives back.”
