Bannon, the former chief strategist for the White House, was released after completing a four-month prison sentence

Former White House Chief Strategist Bannon was freed from prison following a four-month term for ignoring a subpoena from Congress.

After serving four months in prison for ignoring a subpoena pertaining to the congressional investigation into the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was freed early Tuesday.

Kristie Breshears, a Federal Bureau of Prisons official, said Bannon left the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut. Later that day, he will conduct a news conference in Manhattan, according to his agents.

Bannon relaunched his podcast and web program on Tuesday morning, declaring his intention to back Trump’s candidacy for president.

He attacked the Democrats and their policies, claiming that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi planned his incarceration to silence him, even though a jury found him guilty and a court sentenced him.

The four months in federal jail, according to Bannon, “not only didn’t break me, but it empowered me.”I am more focused and energized than I have ever been in my life.

After his attempt to delay the prison term while he appealed his conviction was refused by the Supreme Court, Bannon started serving his sentence on July 1.

A jury convicted Bannon on two charges of contempt of Congress in 2022: one for not appearing before the House Committee on January 6 and another for not supplying documents pertaining to his role in Trump’s attempts to rescind his loss in the 2020 presidential election.

Bannon also faces additional criminal charges in New York state court for allegedly scamming donors who helped build a wall along the border between the United States and Mexico.

Among other things, Bannon has entered a not guilty plea to accusations of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. December is when his trial in this matter is scheduled to start.
