PENSACOLA, Fla. (WEAR) — It's a waiting game outside the federal prison in Pensacola on Wednesday morning, as Todd Chrisley is set to be released.

President Trump granted full pardons to Todd and his wife, Julie, on Tuesday night.

The Chrisleys, known for their reality show 'Chrisley Knows Best,' were sentenced to prison for tax evasion and bank fraud. They were found guilty of defrauding banks out of $30 million in loans.

The charges stemmed from activity dating back to 2007.

Todd Chrisley was ordered to serve 12 years in prison in Pensacola, followed by 16 months of probation. Julie Chrisley was sentenced to seven years in Lexington, Kentucky, followed by 16 months of probation.

Plus, they were ordered to pay $17.8 million in restitution.

Part of President Trump's conversation with Chrisley's daughter Savannah was posted to X Tuesday night.

"I don't know them, but give them my regards," Trump said.

"Thank you so much, Mr. President," Savannah Chrisley said.

"I've been up since three in the morning trying to figure out what time they were going to be here," Chrisley fan, Linda Brooks, said.

"I just wanna see him to tell him I love him," Chrisley fan, Betty Johnson, said. " Even from a distance, I wanna yell at him and tell him I love him. I love his whole family."
