Steve Bannon Released from Prison


Steve Bannon was released from Prison Tuesday, after serving a Four-month Sentence for Refusing to Comply with a Congressional Subpoena related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Attack.

Bannon’s exit from a Connecticut Prison comes exactly One week from Election Day, where his former Boss Trump (R), is neck-and-neck with His Opponent, Vice President Harris (D). Bannon will likely return to the helm of His “War Room” Podcast, known for its fiery Political Rhetoric and be free just in time for the critical home stretch of the Presidential contest.

The onetime TrumpAdviser was Convicted in 2022 of Failing to appear for a Deposition ordered by the former House Jan. 6 Committee and Failing to produce Documents related to the Probe.

He sought to remain out of Prison while Appealing His Conviction, but the Supreme Court Denied His last-ditch bid to remain Free days before He was set to report to Prison.

Bannon was the Second Trump White House Aide to serve Prison time for Defying the House Jan. 6 Panel, after Ex-Trade Adviser Peter Navarro was Incarcerated, following His Conviction on the same Charges.

The House Voted to Censure Three others for Contempt of Congress tied to Jan. 6, including: ex-White House Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows, but Federal Prosecutors Declined to bring Charges in those instances.

At Trial, Navarro argued that Executive Privilege barred Him from Sharing Information with the House Committee, but at Trial, Navarro’s Judge Blocked that Argument from being part of His Defense after finding that He Failed to Prove Trump invoked it in the First place.

Navarro’s Attorneys say that Decision “hamstrung” the ex-Trump Adviser’s Defense, and the Issue is Central to His Appeal.

Navarro was released from a Miami Federal Prison in July, and hours later, took the Stage at the Republican National Convention.

While Navarro was Ordered to serve His Sentence while Appealing, Bannon’s Trial Judge allowed Him to remain Out-of-Prison, due to a Federal Law that keeps Defendants Free, if their Appeal presents a substantial Legal Question that could result in a Reversal or New Trial.

Bannon similarly argued at Trial that His hands were tied when faced with the Committee Subpoena, given Trump’s Claim of Executive Privilege.
