War Room host and former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon has been released from prison.
Bannon, 70, was released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, early Tuesday morning.
The wildly popular political firebrand served four months behind bars for contempt of Congress after refusing to testify before the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol protest.
Bannon was widely considered to be a political prisoner.
War Room co-host Natalie Winters confirmed his release in a post on X shortly after 6 a.m. EST.
“Steve Bannon is a Free Man,” Winters wrote.

Unfortunately, this is not the end of his legal troubles. In December, Bannon will go on trial in New York over his efforts to privately fund a wall along the southern border. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
