Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s stint in prison has come to an end, as he was released early Tuesday and is now free to return to his microphone at his “War Room” podcast with just one week left until the monumental November 5 election.

He’s coming out fighting:

With his "War Room" podcast, the MAGA media firebrand has built one of the right's most powerful platforms. His release allows him to return to the microphone for the 2024 campaign's climactic final week.

What he's saying: Bannon told Axios that he feels "amazing and more importantly empowered" after four months of incarceration.

• He predicted in a text message that former President Trump "will win with [the] chance to win big — complete repudiation of elites."

Bannon said the prison term did not break him:

STEVE BANNON IS BACK, and his return monologue is insanely powerful.

"The four months in federal prison not only didn't break me, it empowered me. I am more energized and more focused than I've ever been in my entire life."

Now you see why they silenced him before the election. His words hold more weight than Chris Christie

Bannon went on to say that we need to "CRUSH" them at the polls next week. He gave a big shoutout to @charliekirk11 for the work they're doing. Thank God for his freedom.

The podcaster was put behind bars for his role in the January 6 protests and their aftermath:

Bannon was serving a four-month sentence on contempt of Congress charges for refusing to comply with a subpoena related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

He was released at 3:15am Tuesday from federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons told Axios.

Catch up quick: Bannon reported to prison in early July after the Supreme Court rejected his last-ditch bid to delay his sentence.

Bannon was convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress in July 2022 for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee investigating the Capitol riot.

He has said that he has "no regrets" about his handling of the situation.

Bannon will immediately resume his podcast. However, his legal troubles are not over:

Bannon faces additional criminal charges in New York state court, alleging he duped donors who gave money to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Bannon has pleaded not guilty to money laundering, conspiracy, fraud and other charges. A trial in that case is scheduled to begin in December.

He is scheduled to hold a news conference later Tuesday in Manhattan. Whether you’re a fan or not, it promises to be interesting.
