Steve Bannon, former advisor to President Trump, is currently eligible for early release under the First Step Act. Despite his eligibility, the Biden-Harris administration is reportedly refusing to release him. Bannon's scheduled release date remains October 29. Supporters argue that Bannon should have already been released due to sentence reductions implemented under the First Step Act. Steve Bannon confirms the administration's refusal from prison. Criticism has been directed towards Vice President Kamala Harris, who is accused of not showing the appropriate mercy in this case. An en banc petition filed by Bannon has also been put on hold.
