Savannah and Todd Chrisley shared an emotional moment when he was released from prison and pardoned of his financial crimes last month.
The father-daughter duo were seen running up to each other in the parking lot of the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Fla., on May 28, per a video obtained by TMZ.
They quickly embraced for a few seconds before rushing into the backseat of an SUV.
The clip also showed Savannah, 27, making several calls to prison higher-ups while awaiting confirmation of when Todd, 56, would be freed from jail after two years behind bars.
Shortly after Todd’s release, his wife, Julie Chrisley, 52, was also let go from the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Ky.
The couple headed home to Nashville, Tenn., after President Donald Trump announced they were to be pardoned following their conviction of tax evasion and bank fraud in 2022.
The politician spoke to Todd and Julie’s children via a personal phone call on May 27, saying, “It’s a terrible thing. But it’s a great thing because your parents are gonna be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow. Is that OK? We’ll try getting it done tomorrow.
“I don’t know them, but give them my regards and wish them a good life,” he continued.
At the time, the “Chrisley Knows Best” alums’ attorney also told Page Six that a “deep injustice” was corrected when his clients were pardoned.
“President Trump recognized what we’ve argued from the beginning: Todd and Julie were targeted because of their conservative values and high profile.
“Their prosecution was tainted by multiple constitutional violations and political bias,” attorney Alex Little said.
Todd also spoke out at a press conference on May 30, claiming he was unaware if his and Julie’s celebrity status led to their early release.
Todd and Julie, who tied the knot in 1996, were initially sentenced to 12 years and seven years in prison, respectively. However, their sentences were later slightly shortened.
They share kids: Chase, 29, Savannah, and Grayson, 19.
Todd is also a father to daughter Lindsie, 35, and son Kyle, 33, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Teresa Terry.
