(LifeSiteNews) — Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon was released from prison Tuesday morning after a four-month stint in a Connecticut jail cell. 

Bannon, 70, was placed behind bars for refusing to comply with the Democrat-led January 6 Congressional committee in 2022. Former GOP lawmaker Liz Cheney, who is supporting Kamala Harris for president, was one of its members.  

Bannon’s imprisonment was mentioned by Peter Navarro, President Trump’s former trade director who himself was sent to prison, in an X post calling the political left the real fascists. 

Bannon was picked up from the Danbury-based facility by his daughter early this morning. He was in New York just hours later to do a live show of his War Room podcast. 

On the podcast, Bannon said that “the four months in federal prison not only didn’t break me, it empowered me. I am more energized and more focused than I’ve ever been in my entire life.”  

While in jail, Bannon had accused the Biden administration of illegally detaining him. He said they violated Trump’s First Step Act, which allows well-behaved inmates to earn credits towards an early release.  

Bannon told War Room viewers that the work being done by Elon Musk, Charlie Kirk, and other Trump supporters this election cycle deserves praise. 

“Donald John Trump is gonna get his third victory and serve his second term,” he predicted.  

Bannon, a Catholic, informed Tucker Carlson before he started serving his sentence on  July 1 that he planned on doing the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola to stay grounded.  

He also received a blessing from Fr. Kevin Robinson of the Society of St. Pius X at a press conference before heading to prison.
