Watch as former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon held a press conference after his release from prison on Tuesday (29 October).

Bannon had been held at FCI Danbury in Connecticut after being sentenced to 120 days for contempt of Congress.

With his sentence ending on Tuesday, he was released in the early hours of the morning and was met at the facility by his daughter Maureen, CNN reported.

The far-right media strategist, 70, was ordered to serve four months in federal prison on July 1 after he was convicted of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena over the congressional investigation into the January 6 Capitol riots.
