The attack comes roughly two months after Todd and his now-wife Julie Chrisley reported to prison over tax fraud.
The “Chrisley Knows Best” stars were sentenced to a combined 19 years in prison after a jury found the couple guilty of conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans, in addition to conspiring to defraud the IRS.
Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison and Julie was given a seven-year sentence after initially being indicted in August 2019 on bank fraud and tax evasion charges. They will each have to complete 16 months of probation following the end of their prison sentences.
Julie’s convictions included conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States. She was also hit with wire fraud and obstruction of justice charges. She reported to the satellite minimum security camp at the BOP facility in Lexington, a source confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time.

Todd was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States. He checked into the minimum security facility, Federal Prison Camp Pensacola.
The couple’s daughter, Savannah Chrisley, recently appeared on the podcast “Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe,” and claimed her parents were not guilty of the charges they were convicted of.
“I know who my parents are,” she said. “I know the things they have and have not done. I know the witch hunt. When the government wants someone, they want someone. They’re going to do whatever it takes to make it look how they need it to look. There’s no resentment whatsoever.”
