Savannah Chrisley got emotional outside the federal prison in Pensacola, Florida, awaiting her father Todd Chrisley's release thanks to President Donald Trump's pardon.Speaking to reporters, Savannah said, "Honestly, this process has been absolutely insane, and I am so grateful that I'm going to leave here with my dad."Savannah claimed that prosecutors had her father's head "on a dart board" before his prison sentence. She read Trump's pardon to the reporters, which stated an immediate release, and she said she hopes "the prison is going to do that shortly."Savannah's mother, Julie Chrisley, is expected to be released from the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky on Wednesday. According to Savannah, her brother Grayson is picking up their mom.CHRISLEY CHILDREN CELEBRATE TRUMP'S PLAN TO PARDON REALITY TV PARENTS IN FRAUD, TAX EVASION CASEOn Tuesday, after Trump announced his plan to pardon the couple, Todd and Julie's children were quick to share their excitement."I am grateful to God and extremely grateful to President Trump and his entire administration," the couple's son, Chase, said in a statement to the New York Post. "Im beyond thankful to finally have my parents back home and my family together again!""I'm ecstatic," Kyle, whose biological mom is Todd's ex-wife, Teresa Terry, told E! News. "Truly. I just found out a little bit ago, and I still just can't believe it. I know Savannah had been working at this for so long, and she never gave up. So I'm just grateful to her and to President Trump for making this happen for my dad and Julie.""I know they can't wait to get home and just be with family, and I'm going to remain hopeful that another reconciliation is possible," Kyle, who has been estranged from his father for years, added.Savannah posted a video on her Instagram on Tuesday saying she got the call from the president that he was signing pardon papers for her parents while she was walking into Sam's Club."So, both of my parents are coming home tonight or tomorrow, and I still don't believe it's real!" she exclaimed.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

Trump. Thank you, God, for a president who wants to restore families and loves people and took the time to call me from the Oval Office to let me know my parents are getting their lives back."In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Wednesday, the couple's attorney explained how the "incredibly powerful" pardon will wipe the couple's case "entirely," as if it never happened."A pardon like this generally ends the case entirely, and so we'll see the fine print of the pardon explicitly, but generally when you are pardoned, it is wiped away, and so it's wiped clean," the Chrisleys' attorney, Alex Little, a partner at Litson PLLC, said. "It's as if the case hasn't happened, and fortunately Todd and Julie will be able to pick up their lives to the best that they're able and go on forward and focus on the future."WATCH: Chrisleys pardon from Trump will wipe away the case entirely, as if it never happened: lawyerCLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"I think that the pardon process is something that hadn't been used by many presidents for many, many terms.

After signing his record extension in March, Myles Garrett said he would "plan to be the best person possible" in the Cleveland Browns locker room.Well, that plan doesn't appear to be getting off to the best start, as the star defensive end skipped voluntary OTAs this week.Garrett requested a trade from the Browns during the playoffs - roughly a month later, he signed an extension that made him, temporarily, the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league (Ja'Marr Chase surpassed him shortly after).CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMGarrett initially cited the "desire to win" as the reason for his request - of course, the Browns have become notorious for not doing that.But in the team's first full-team activities of the offseason, Garrett was absent.Instead of making plays on the field, Garrett was sparking relationship rumors with American snowboarder Chloe Kim. The two made an appearance together at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Tokyo, where Kim was a presenter.Garrett also posted on his Instagram story that he was "tryna buy a place here asap." Neither have publicly confirmed their relationship, but signs point that they are an item.PODCAST HOST WALKS BACK REMARKS CLAIMING JORDON HUDSON 'CHOREOGRAPHED' PART OF BILL BELICHICK'S INTERVIEWKim has two Olympic gold medals, three World Championship titles, and eight golds in Winter X Games.The Athletic noted that this isn't exactly unusual for Garrett, who "is frequently late to the facility" and has skipped mandatory team activities on multiple occasions."

A community in Kansas gathered to celebrate the life of Israeli Embassy employee Sarah Milgrim Tuesday after she was fatally shot alongside her boyfriend, fellow Israeli Embassy employee Yaron Lischinsky, leaving the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington last week.Lischinsky had purchased an engagement ring and was planning to propose to Milgrim before they were both killed, those close to the couple said. The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder; murder of foreign officials, a federal capital offense; and multiple gun-related counts. He could face the death penalty if convicted.The suspect shouted "Free Palestine" while in police custody, and the fatal shooting is being investigated as a hate crime, according to the FBI. Lawmakers have condemned the violence as an act of antisemitism.Speaking with Fox News Digital on Capitol Hill, both Republican and Democratic senators condemned the fatal shooting.ISRAELI AMBASSADOR CONNECTS EMBASSY STAFFERS' SLAYING TO 'VERY IMPORTANT' BIGGER PICTUREWHITE HOUSE DECRIES 'EVIL OF ANTISEMITISM,' VOWS JUSTICE AFTER FATAL SHOOTING OF ISRAELI EMBASSY STAFFERS"These two young people died senselessly. Israel's engaging in a war for its very survival. My heart breaks for these two young people in the prime of their lives," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said.Lischinsky was 30, and Milgrim was 26."There's no room for violence in America," Sen. Ben Ray Lujn, D-N.M., told Fox News Digital. "I appreciate my colleague, Sen. Rosen, moving a resolution today that no colleagues objected to, bringing attention to antisemitism in America. Anytime anyone is targeted, we need to speak up, not just here, but around the world."Senators Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., and Rick Scott, R-Fla., last week on the Senate Floor condemned what they described as an "antisemitic attack" and celebrated the passage of their bipartisan resolution that recognizes May as Jewish Heritage American Month."This is everybody's worst nightmare that people would not only engage in antisemitic rhetoric, but act on it," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said.Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said it "reminds us all how festering hate and prejudice leads to violence. We have to redouble our efforts to stop any form of prejudice or bigotry.""Obviously, there's been a rise in antisemitism over the last several years," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., told Fox News Digital.Gillibrand is one of two Democratic senators representing New York, which is home to the largest Jewish population in the United States and also includes Columbia University, the elite Ivy League school in Manhattan that has been accused of allowing antisemitism to fester on campus.President Donald Trump has condemned the anti-Israel protests at elite universities, threatening to cut federal funding to institutions that do not condemn antisemitism and threatening to revoke international students' visas."It is disgraceful that two young people with their whole lives in front of them can't go to a reception in a public building in Washington, D.C., and be safe. It is criminal. It is disgraceful. It is intolerable, and we have to do everything we can to stop antisemitism in its tracks and protect people," Gillibrand added.In an unusual move for active federal court judges, four of them said in a Dispatch opinion piece Wednesday, "Societies that persecute Jews are societies that are sick and dying. Societies that allow the moral rot of Jew hatred to proliferate are societies on their way out of the pages of history."The Associated Press contributed to this story.

A bipartisan group of senators, led by North Dakota Republican Kevin Cramer and New Hampshire Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, recently traveled to Ottawa, Ontario, to help ease rising tensions between the U.S. and Canada.The quintet, which also included Sens. Peter Welch, D-Vt., Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Tim Kaine, D-Va., was photographed glad-handing Prime Minister Mark Carney, a liberal who had been aided in his election over conservative favorite Pierre Poilievre in part due to American right-wing overtures.As the lone Republican, Cramer was in the difficult spot of balancing representing the presidents party and engendering goodwill with Carney, whose government has been targeted by U.S. tariffs and pledges by President Donald Trump to be made the "51st state."He did not respond to a Fox News request for comment in that regard, but Kaine told Punchbowl News that Trump respects Cramer and his "insight and loyalty."CANADA'S PM CARNEY VOWS TO FIGHT TRUMPS TARIFFS; OTHER WORLD LEADERS WEIGH IMPACT"That means the president can probably hear some things from him that, if I said it, I wouldnt get paid attention to," Kaine said.In a statement, Cramer said the two nations share "more than a border" and that working through challenges requires "frank dialogue.""I was encouraged by the meetings, and the Prime Ministers transparent and thoughtful words were smart and instructive. I look forward to working with our friends, business partners, and neighbors in Canada to strengthen our relationship and address mutual issues facing our great countries," he added.The delegation, joined by Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, a former border-state congressman from Michigan, was geared toward joint defense and economic priorities, according to Cramer.The White House directed Fox News Digital to the State Department when asked about its response to the diplomatic overture from Cramer and the four Democrats. But Foggy Bottom did not provide comment for the record.But Cramer told Punchbowl he didnt want to get in Trumps way and that no trade deal could happen without the White House but that Canada needs to know they have a partner in the U.S."Hopefully I navigated it OK, but Ill find out on Truth Social," he said.CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY SAYS 'OLD RELATIONSHIP' WITH US 'IS OVER' AMID TENSION OVER TRUMP TARIFFSKaine plans to force a Senate vote on a resolution to block Trumps China tariffs if dtente isnt reached between Ottawa and Washington.His office directed Fox News Digital to a Punchbowl story on the matter, where the Virginian was quoted saying that there will be negative effects on the U.S. economy if "this doesnt get sorted out.""I hope I dont need to," Kaine said.The U.S. imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian steel, automobiles and other goods not currently covered under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, according to the Wall Street Journal.Canada retaliated by imposing $43 billion worth of its own tariffs against the U.S.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Weve got more that we need to do before were satisfied that we have a partnership that is in Canadas interest. Weve made a lot of progress," Carney said Tuesday after the visit concluded.Every congressional participant except Kaine hails from a state that borders Canada. One report said that annual Canadian visitation to Cramers North Dakota outnumbers its own population, while Welch has been vocal about Vermonts symbiotic reliance on Canadian residents dollars, especially in its recreation sector."The U.S.-Canada relationship has made us all safer and more prosperous, protecting our continent from foreign threats and transforming North America into a hub of global trade, innovation and investment," Welch said in a statement co-signed by the other lawmakers."The trip has reaffirmed our joint desire to move past current tensions in the bilateral relationship and lay the groundwork for a stronger partnership moving forward."

It has been 72 hours since a former Arkansas police chief serving decades in prison for murder and rape escaped from prison on Sunday afternoon.Former Gateway Police Department Chief Grant Hardin, 56, escaped from the North Central Unit on Sunday afternoon in Calico Rock, according to the Arkansas Department of Corrections (ADC)."We have a pretty good idea of the route that he took and some of those circumstances and what, if any, lapses happened," ADC Communications Director Rand Champion said during a Wednesday news conference."Based on the information that we have and the experience of our teams, they feel fairly confident that he is still fairly close to this region," Champion said, noting that "all it takes is one vehicle" for Hardin to use to travel elsewhere, though officials have established a perimeter around the area of Stone County.MANHUNT UNDERWAY AFTER DISGRACED FORMER POLICE CHIEF CONVICTED OF MURDER, RAPE ESCAPES ARKANSAS PRISON"As of this time, they are still very confident that he is in the area," Champion said.Champion said the public should assume Hardin is "a very dangerous individual," and there is a risk he may commit more crimes while he is on the run.It took less than 30 minutes for prison officials to notice that Hardin had disappeared from prison. Photos that the Stone County Sheriff's Office posted to social media show Hardin wearing an ADC-style uniform during his escape through a sally port, though Champion said the uniform he was wearing was not an official uniform.4 ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY AIDING ESCAPED INMATES IN NEW ORLEANS"It had to have either been homemade or brought in somehow," Champion said of the uniform.Hardin, who became known as the "Devil in the Ozarks," was sentenced to 30 years for murder plus additional time for rape. He pleaded guilty to the 2017 murder of James Appleton, 59, a city water employee who was found shot in the face inside his work truck, KNWA reported.While Hardin was being booked into the state prison, officials submitted his DNA sample into a database. His DNA ended up linking him to the rape cold case of a teacher in 1997, the outlet reported.MASSIVE JAIL BREAK IN NEW ORLEANS 'IMPOSSIBLE' WITHOUT STAFF INVOLVEMENT, SAYS EX-FBI FUGITIVE HUNTERThe victim, a teacher at Frank Tillery Elementary in Rogers, said she was raped by a man with a gun at the school."It was proven to be Mr. Hardin beyond all scientific certainty," Nathan Smith, the prosecuting attorney for Benton County at the time, told the outlet.Authorities confirmed Hardins DNA matched the DNA linked to the rape suspect. Harrison was ambushed while preparing a lesson plan for the week. The case had been cold for nearly two decades.Hardin ended up pleading guilty to the rape in 2019."Grant Hardin, in my view and in my personal experience, is one of the most dangerous people that I ever seen for the reason that he does not at first appear that way," Smith previously said. "He is a man capable of a seemingly random, horrific murder as well as a random, horrific rape."Hardin is described as a 6' white male, weighing approximately 259 pounds.Fox News' Stepheny Price and Louis Casiano contributed to this report.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta is facing a Department of Justice investigation over his state's laws allowing transgender athletes in girls sports.The DOJ announced the investigation Wednesday, one day after President Donald Trump threatened to pull funding from the state for allowing a trans athlete to compete in a girls track and field championship.Bonta's office responded to the recent pressure on him and the state of California over the issue in a statement to Fox News Digital.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"We remain committed to defending and upholding California laws and all additional laws which ensure the rights of students, including transgender students, to be free from discrimination and harassment. We will continue to closely monitor the Trump administrations actions in this space," the statement said.The DOJ's announcement of its investigation against the state cited a lawsuit that includes Bonta as a defendant. The lawsuit, filed by the families of two girls at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California, alleges the school's cross-country team dropped one athlete from her varsity spot in favor of a trans athlete and that school administrators compared their "Save Girls Sports" T-shirts to swastikas, Fox News Digital has previously reported.HOW TRANSGENDERISM IN SPORTS SHIFTED THE 2024 ELECTION AND IGNITED A NATIONAL COUNTERCULTUREThe suit, filed in November, seeks to challenge the state's current law that allows trans athletes to compete as girls, which has been in place since 2014. The lawsuit expanded a defendant list to include Bonta Feb. 1.Just days later, after Trump signed the "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order Feb. 5, the U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation into the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) for openly defying the order.Now, the tension in the state figures to come to a head this weekend at the girls track and field state championship.The CIF has already made several rule changes that accommodate girls who would be displaced by the trans athlete, AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley High School. The changes include giving medals to any "biological female" competitors who would have earned a podium spot if not for Hernandez placing ahead of them.Still, many families and activists are speaking out against the CIF for allowing the situation to continue at all, and the Trump administration has given no indication the rule changes will satisfy its demands on the issue.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

FBI Director Kash Patel promised transparency as remaining questions linger about the federal investigation into the July 2024 assassination attempt on then-candidate President Donald Trump.In an exclusive interview with Fox News Bret Baier, Patel touched on the growing public demand for answers as speculation swirls around the high-profile attack in Butler, Penn."I don't know that there's more to know, but you're going to know everything we know," Patel told Baier on Special Report.TRUMP TELLS FOX NOTICIAS HE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE EXPLANATION BEHIND ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTSPatel, appointed amid calls for sweeping reform, pushed back on the growing conspiracy theories and insisted that the American people would learn the full truth."We take assassination attempts, especially of the President of the United States, extremely seriously," he said. "And we don't feel that the American people have been given the information they need on that. And we're digging through the files, and we're getting them a more robust picture of what happened and whether or not there were any connections."Pressed by Baier on theories circulating online, from an inside attempt to sabotage Trumps campaign to foreign interference, Patel dismissed the speculation outright."Thats a great example of people looking for things where things dont exist," he said.He acknowledged that the death of the would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, allowed for more transparency than ongoing cases, such as the Merchant investigation in New York, and claimed that relevant disclosures had already been made public.Baiers questions came after Trump expressed skepticism over the conclusions shared by federal agencies on the Butler assassination attempt."We have deep-seated craziness in this country," Trump told Baier during a recent trip to the Middle East. "So far they tell me its fine. But its a little hard to believe, to be honest with you."NEW BOOK DETAILS SECURITY LAPSES AHEAD OF TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: 'CLEAR THERE WAS A PROBLEM'The 47th president emphasized his reliance on key allies, namingUnited States Attorney General Pam Bondi and Patel, but suggested that he remained unconvinced by the current findings."I'm relying on my people, and they're good," he said. "But it's a little hard to believe, to be honest with you, okay? It's a little bit hard to believe as I get older."The Butler shooting sent shockwaves through the 2024 campaign trail. Trump was wounded but survived, and the assailant was killed by law enforcement at the scene.The attempted assassination ignited scrutiny on the U.S. Secret Services' protective measures on the presidential candidate.Despite a months-long investigation, questions remain about Crooks motivation and any preventative measures that could have been implemented."We knew a lot more about a lot of different people than we know about that guy," Baier told Patel, pressing on why the public remains largely in the dark nearly a year later.
