The adviser of the former American president, Donald Trump, is released from

Steve Bannon, the adviser to the former American president, Donald Trump, has been released from prison, after spending four months behind bars.

Bannon, 70, was released from a Connecticut correctional facility on Tuesday, prison officials said.

Bannon, a conservative podcast host and key figure in Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, has been convicted of contempt of Congress in 2022 when he refused to answer a subpoena from congressmen about the congressional riot investigation. , on January 6, 2021.

According to the American daily, the New York Times, Bannon said before his release that "if people thought that American politics was divisive before, they haven't seen anything yet."

Banon is expected to record his podcast - The War Room - on Tuesday, and hold a press conference in New York City.

Before going to prison, Bannon was loyal to Trump and hostile to Democratic figures.

"I am a political prisoner of Nancy Pelosi, I am a political prisoner of Merrick Garland, I am a political prisoner of Joe Biden and Biden's corrupt leadership," he said before being imprisoned.

Bannon has vowed to continue helping Trump even from prison.

"I've served my country for 10 years or so," he told the British broadcaster BBC before he was jailed, referring to Trump's policies and slogan, "Make America Great Again."

"If I have to work from prison, I will work from prison, there is no difference."

He has repeatedly repeated the false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

Bannon is facing other legal troubles — he's indicted for money laundering, fraud and conspiracy — in separate cases.

He has been accused of tricking donors into allocating funds to build part of the wall between the United States and Mexico.

Bannon himself has pleaded not guilty to all charges./REL
