Steve Bannon to be released from prison days ahead of election

Steve Bannon, a former adviser to Donald Trump, will be released from prison on Tuesday.

The timing puts him back in front of the media exactly one week before Election Day -- and he's already called his first press conference, which will take place just hours after his scheduled release.

On Tuesday, Bannon will have served his four-month prison term, which came with a $6,500 fine.

He was sentenced on two counts of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
