Steve Bannon feels 'empowered' after four months in federal prison toggle caption Yuki Iwamura/AFP via Getty Images Steve Bannon, the right-wing podcaster and one-time political adviser to former President Donald Trump, was released from federal prison Tuesday morning after serving four months behind bars for contempt of Congress. Just hours after his release, Bannon returned to host a new episode of his daily podcast, “War Room.” Dressed in a black shirt and with his gray hair slicked back, Bannon falsely claimed that former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent him to federal prison as a political prisoner “to tamp down the power of this show and to break me.” Sponsor Message “Four months in federal prison didn’t break me. Bannon served his four-month sentence at the federal lockup in Danbury, Conn. Another former Trump aide, Peter Navarro, also served four months in prison after being convicted of the same charges. He marked his return to the podcast with a fiery message for Trump’s supporters ahead of Election Day, telling them: “This is a fight not simply for the direction of this country but what this country stands for.” Democrats, Bannon claimed, “have no intention of giving up power.” Trump’s supporters in Congress also have lobbed accusations of politicization against the Justice Department, pointing to the two federal indictments brought against the former president for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election and for hoarding classified documents.
