From the Associated Press:
He planned to hold a news conference later in the day in Manhattan, his representatives said. He’s also expected to resume his podcast Tuesday.
Bannon, 70, reported to the prison July 1 after the Supreme Court rejected his bid to delay the prison sentence while he appeals his conviction.
ADVERTISEMENTA jury found Bannon guilty in 2022 of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition with the Jan. 6 House Committee and a second for refusing to provide documents related to his involvement Trump’s efforts to overturn his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race.
When he began serving his sentence in July, Bannon called himself a “political prisoner.”
“I am proud of going to prison,” he said at the time, adding that he was standing up Attorney General Merrick Garland and a “corrupt” Justice Department.
Bannon returned to War Room Tuesday morning.

The National Pulse reports:
Bannon, 70, has now officially completed his prison sentence, handed down after an unconstitutional Congressional committee “investigating” the January 6, 2021 riots at the Capitol held him in contempt for refusing to breach Presidential privilege.
The former Goldman Sachs investment banker and Breitbart News executive chairman was eligible for early release under the First Step Act, but the Biden-Harris Bureau of Prisons (BoP) unlawfully ignored his request.
Bannon — who was met outside FCI Danbury by his daughter Maureen — will host his War Room show at 10AM EST, and will host a press conference at 3PM.
