Former White House Strategist Steve Bannon has completed his prison sentence after a four-month stint behind bars for contempt of Congress. The move comes after Bannon defied a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. The committee, formed to probe the events surrounding the riot, had sought testimony from Bannon regarding his knowledge of the events leading up to the violence. His decision to ignore the subpoena sparked a high-profile court battle, with Bannon ultimately being held in contempt by a federal judge.
Bannon spent four months in prison after defying a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.
