Bannon released from prison after serving sentence for contempt
Posted on 10/29/2024
Stephen K. Bannon was released from prison Tuesday after serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress over his refusal to cooperate with a House investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
The influential right-wing podcaster and longtime political adviser to Donald Trump had maintained a high profile before trying unsuccessfully to defer his sentence earlier this year, continuing to spread false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, bolstering conservative causes and proposing that state attorneys general and district attorneys prosecute Democrats. His release Tuesday means he will be free and able to weigh in on political matters during the final week before Election Day.
