Steve Bannon, former adviser to President Donald Trump, has been released from federal prison after serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress stemming from his refusal to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot. Released just one week before the November 5th presidential election, Bannon was met by his daughter Maureen upon his release. Supporters have referred to him as a 'political prisoner' and anticipate his return to the political arena. Bannon is scheduled to hold a press conference at 3 p.m. on Tuesday at the Regency Hotel in New York City. During his imprisonment, he reportedly taught classes on history and American government.
