Longtime ally of Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, was released from prison early Tuesday morning, and it appears that the scandalous podcast host intends to use his freedom to help the former president return to the White House.
«Four months in federal prison not only did not break me, they strengthened me», - said the 70-year-old Bannon, resuming his online show. «I am more energetic and focused than ever in my life».
Let’s look at Bannon’s recent time in prison and his current net worth.
Bannon was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress in July 2022: one for refusing to sit for a deposition before the House committee on January 6, and the other for refusing to provide documents related to his involvement in Trump’s efforts to overturn his defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
«The defendant chose loyalty to Donald Trump over obeying the law», - said a Department of Justice prosecutor to the jury in court, emphasizing that Bannon had «contempt for Congress» as they tried to understand «why January 6 happened and how to ensure it never happens again».
When he began serving his sentence at a low-security federal correctional institution in Connecticut in July, Bannon referred to himself as a «political prisoner».
«I am proud to go to prison», - he said at the time, adding that he stood against Attorney General Merrick Garland and the «corrupt» Department of Justice.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bannon is estimated to be worth $ 20 million. In 2017, Forbes reported that during Bannon’s time as senior advisor and chief strategist to Trump, his net worth ranged from $ 9.5 million to $ 48 million.
Currently, Bannon hosts a podcast called «War Room», - which often appeared in Apple’s Top Podcasts before Bannon went to prison.
He was previously the executive chairman of the far-right website Breitbart and served on the board of the now-defunct data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica. Bloomberg reported that Bannon’s stake in Cambridge Analytica, a data mining firm linked to Brexit, was sold for up to $ 5 million before he joined Trump’s administration in 2016 as the campaign’s executive director. Bannon was ultimately fired from this position in April 2017, and he officially left the White House in August of the same year.
Although known as the head of several anti-globalist organizations funding the European right, Bannon was once a US Navy officer and film producer before transitioning to publishing controversial content. In the 1990s, he became an executive producer of several Hollywood films, including «Titus» starring Anthony Hopkins, as well as far-right projects «The Undefeated» and «Occupy Unmasked»
