News summary

Todd Chrisley, the 'Chrisley Knows Best' reality TV star currently serving a 12-year sentence for fraud and tax evasion, has been dismissed from his job as a chaplain's assistant in a federal prison in Pensacola, Florida. Chrisley's lawyer, Jay Surgent, stated that the dismissal was due to Chrisley's interactions with inmates involved in the prison's Residential Drug Abuse Program, which officials found problematic. Despite the lack of a formal hearing or clear explanation for his removal, Chrisley remains allowed to attend religious services and is reportedly seeking reinstatement. Both Todd and his wife, Julie, were convicted in 2022 for defrauding community banks out of over $30 million and other financial crimes. Julie Chrisley, serving a seven-year sentence, recently had her sentence reaffirmed after an appeal. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has not commented on the specifics of Chrisley's job termination, citing privacy concerns.
