Chrisley, 56, took to TikTok on Wednesday to claim that he and his wife were targeted by former Georgia Department of Revenue investigator Josh Waites as “big fish.”
The Chrisleys have maintained that they were investigated partly for their celebrity status.
In his TikTok post, he cited investigations by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and former WSB-TV Channel 2 Action News reporters Richard Belcher and Jodie Fleischer.
The Revenue Department fired Waites in 2020 after the two news organizations reported that he had misstated his education credentials on a state document. However, a grand jury declined to indict him in 2022.
WSB-TV also reported that Waites’ unit held onto more than $5 million in seized assets that should have gone straight into the state treasury.
