PENSACOLA, Fla. (WKRG) — A day after being pardoned by President Donald Trump, reality TV star Todd Chrisley is set to be released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Pensacola, Florida, on Wednesday.

Chrisley, known for the program “Chrisley Knows Best,” was found guilty along with his wife, Julie, of bank fraud and tax evasion in 2022. Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison while Julie was sentenced to seven. Both Chrisleys reported to their respective prisons in January 2023.

On Tuesday, May 27, Trump called their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, to let her know that he was pardoning her parents. White House officials shared video of that conversation from the Oval Office.

“Your parents are going to be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow,” Trump said in the video of the call.

Todd Chrisley is expected to be released from prison sometime Wednesday afternoon. Nexstar’s WKRG is providing a live look at the prison in the video player at the top of this story.
