Todd and Julie Chrisley released from prison after Trump's pardon
Todd and Julie Chrisley have both been released from prison, a source familiar with the situation told ABC News.
The reality stars were released from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons after President Donald Trump pardoned the couple of their crimes on Wednesday.
The official word came a day afterhis communications adviser announcedthe president would pardon the pair, who are serving time for tax evasion and bank fraud.
Their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, posted an image on Instagram Wednesday afternoon appearing to showTrump signing and posing with the pardon.A White House official confirmed the pardon.

"I will forever be grateful for President Trump, his administration and everyone along the way, all of my lawyers, the people who put in countless hours and effort and love for my family to make sure that my parents got home," the 27-year-old said in a video on Instagram on Tuesday.
The Chrisleys' son Chase Chrisley thanked the president for pardoning his parents.
"Our rocks are back!!" he posted on Instagram. "Thank you to Mr. President @realdonaldtrump @potus for making a remarkable decision and bringing our family back together! We love, support and thank you Mr. President! God Bless you and your entire family! Continue to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!"
Outside the federal prison camp in Pensacola, Florida, on Wednesday evening, Savannah Chrisley fought back tears as she waited for her father's release.
“This process has been absolutely insane,” she told reporters. “I’m just so grateful that I’m going to leave here with my dad.”
“I’ve literally been here since 2 a.m. I didn’t bring clothes or a toothbrush,” she said. “I’m just a daughter who wants to take my dad home.”
Savannah Chrisley said her younger brother Grayson Chrisley was en route to pick up their mother, and their younger sister Chloe had been calling “a gazillion times” asking for updates.
Savannah Chrisley described an emotional exchange when she shared the news with her parents.
“My mom was in tears,” she said. “It was absolutely amazing.”
The Chrisley family’s story won’t fade from public view -- Savannah Chrisley confirmed a new reality series is in the works with Lifetime.
Her parents, who haven’t seen or spoken to each other since entering prison more than two years ago, are expected to reunite soon.
The couple, who became famous for their show "Chrisley Knows Best," were sentenced in November 2022 to a combined 19 years in prison on charges including fraud and tax evasion. Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 16 months of probation while Julie Chrisley was ordered to serve seven years in prison and 16 months of probation.
The couple was also ordered to pay $17.8 million in restitution.
The charges against the Chrisleys stem from activity that occurred at least as early as 2007, when the couple allegedly provided false information to banks and fabricated bank statements when applying for and receiving million of dollars in loans, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. In 2014, two years after the alleged bank fraud scheme ended, the couple is accused of fabricating bank statements and a credit report that had "been physically cut and taped or glued together when applying for and obtaining a lease for a home in California."
In their sentencing memo, prosecutors said the Chrisleys had engaged in a "fifteen-year fraud spree."
"Chrisley Knows Best" premiered in 2014 and followed the lavish lifestyle of wealthy real estate developer Todd Chrisley and his family.
