Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon was released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury on Tuesday after serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. Bannon, 70, had been convicted for defying a subpoena issued by the congressional committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. While incarcerated, he taught history and American government classes. Upon his release, he was met by family members. Bannon is expected to hold a press conference at 3 p.m. at the Regency Hotel in New York City and resume hosting his radio program "War Room" later today. His release comes exactly one week before Election Day.
