Julie and Todd Chrisley were not exactly prepared to know that the president had been forgiven.
“Unfortunately, most of the news you receive in prison are bad news,” Julie Chrisley told Lara Trump in a family interview that will be broadcast on Saturday at Fox News Channel. Then, when he received the good news, his fellow inmates did not immediately understand what they were seeing.
“They are like, 'Are you okay?'” Julie said.
In fact, he had not been 100% well when he heard his daughter Savannah for the first time that President Trump had signed the cream of the cards without jail.
“I just started” when his daughter gave the news, Julie said. “Everyone was looking around, and then I hung. I was so nervous that I just hung.”
Savannah was the one who appealed to the president to free his parents. During the Republican National Convention, he spoke on the “dishonest prosecutors” that they put their parents after bars.
At least Julie hung from her daughter and not Potus. But now the people around him asked him if he was fine. “I'm like, 'I'm!'” He said, grabbing her husband and daughter's hands while remembered the moment. “I'm coming out of here!”
Julie and her husband Todd, Georgia's couple who gained fame through “Chrisley Knows Best”, the US network series. Uu. Which showed her luxurious lifestyle and crazy family dynamics, returned to her blonde Gloria de Blanqueador with two of her five children, Savannah and her son Chase, on the Lara Trump sofa.
There had been no hair color for the inmates after they were sentenced to 12 years (he) and seven years (she) for tax evasion, conspiracy and electronic fraud. She was sent to a federal prison in Pensacola, Florida, while she was doing time in Lexington, Ky. Freedom of probation after imprisonment waiting for both. The pellets changed all that.
Todd Chrisley was a little fresher than his wife when the news came. He was walking on FPC Pensacola when someone stopped him and told him that he had just forgiven.
“I said: 'Yes, ok' and kept walking,” apparently discarded what he had just heard as a garbage talk. He walked all the way back to his bedroom, just for a correction officer to come shortly after and ask him if he was “good.”
“I said: 'As good as I can,'” he told Lara Trump with a little Snark in his delivery. But CO was serious.
The officer told the star of reality that he had been forgiven and that he had been sent to see Chrisley to make sure he was fine.
Todd recalled having said: “They don't need to be worried about me now! If I'm forgiven, I'm great!”
Chrisley's patriarch also shared how he felt when he saw his wife Julie for the first time in 28 months.
“When I hugged her the first time, it was as if she were at home … We've changed,” he said. “And if we didn't change in these 28 months, it would have been wasted.”
Todd also delivered it to the Almighty. “God touched President Trump's heart,” he said. “God led people to advocate us. And that's why I am grateful, because every night they prayed so that God would return me home with my children. And he did that, so I am grateful.”
Both Chrisley have said they intend to advocate in the future for prisoners who are still behind bars.
“My opinion with Lara Trump”, which includes its full interview with Todd, Julie, Savannah and Chase Chrisley, is broadcast on Saturday at 6 pm local time (9 PM EAStern) in Fox News Channel.
