Steve Bannon, former senior strategic adviser to former U.S. President Trump, was released from federal prison on October 29 local time, during the critical last week before the U.S. election.
It is reported that Bannon's team plans to hold a press conference in New York on the afternoon of October 29th local time. According to a previous report by Xinhua News Agency, Bannon is Trump's "former mentor" and has served as Trump's chief strategist. In 2022, Bannon refused to cooperate with the House Special Committee's investigation into the "Capitol Hill Riots" on January 6, 2021, and refused to testify in court. He was convicted by the jury of two counts of "contempt of Congress" and sentenced to four months in prison. On July 1 this year, Bannon arrived at a federal prison in Connecticut to report and began serving his sentence for contempt of Congress. In 2021, Trump used his executive power to pardon 73 people on the last day of his term, including Bannon, who was accused of "fraud" by the Department of Justice. Bannon has always been a staunch supporter of Trump. Even when he was imprisoned in July this year, Bannon claimed that he would continue to influence the presidential election in prison and promised that his "War Room" podcast would continue to inspire Trump's supporters. The "War Room" podcast was often ranked on Apple's popular podcast list before Bannon was imprisoned, but it fell off the list in early July, causing a setback in the spread of "MAGA" (the abbreviation of Trump's campaign slogan "Make America Great Again"). Data shows that with the news of Bannon's imminent return, the number of listeners of the "War Room" podcast has slightly rebounded. It is reported that on the morning of his release from prison, he will immediately start working and host his own radio show.#BabyMarvin合约尾f9c7
