Former Donald Trump aide and right-wing podcaster Steve Bannon is scheduled to be released from federal prison next Tuesday after serving his full 120-day sentence for contempt of Congress. Despite efforts by Bannon and his legal team to secure early release or home confinement, the Bureau of Prisons confirmed that his release date will remain as originally set on October 29.
Bannon, who was convicted in 2022 for failing to comply with a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, has been serving his sentence at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut. While in prison, Bannon worked as an orderly in the prison library.
