Bannon, 70, left the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury with his daughter, Maureen, as reported by CNN. Bannon’s representatives also confirmed that he would address the media later in the day with a press conference in Manhattan.

This release comes just one week before the 2024 presidential election, bringing Bannon, a significant conservative media voice and staunch Trump ally, back into the public eye at a crucial political moment.

Despite an October 2022 conviction, Bannon’s sentence was delayed as he pursued appeals, which a federal appeals court ultimately upheld in May.

Bannon, who previously described himself as a “political prisoner,” vowed to continue appealing his convictions.
