Steve Bannon will be released from prison next week, according to the Bureau of Prisons, despite his attempts at an early release

Steve Bannon, a right-wing podcaster and former aide to Donald Trump, is expected to be released from federal prison next Tuesday despite repeated attempts by him and his legal defense team to secure his early release.

The Bureau of Prisons said in a letter to Bannon on Monday that his release date would remain Oct. 29, as originally planned.

That means he will serve his entire 120-day sentence for contempt of Congress behind bars.

Since learning in recent days that he could be placed under house arrest, Bannon has accused the BOP of political interference, and his lawyers have pleaded with courts and prison officials for leniency .

The acting warden of the low-security Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in Connecticut wrote to Bannon’s lawyers Monday that he did not have enough time to arrange for Bannon’s transfer to his home in Washington, D.C. .

Home confinement was a possibility for the former White House senior adviser because of a provision for certain first-time federal offenders under the Trump-era First Step Act.

“Mr. Bannon does not have sufficient time served in his sentence to process a removal request and obtain approval for a ten-day placement under house arrest,” Warden Derek Puzio wrote in a letter obtained by CNN .

“The Regional Reentry Management Office that oversees your client’s release area has informed its Residential Reentry Centers, which monitor home confinement placements, that they will not accept placements of less than 30 days. “

Bannon was convicted in 2022 for failing to comply with a subpoena from the House Select Committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

His appeal against the conviction is ongoing even as he serves his prison sentence.

While imprisoned at FCI Danbury, Bannon worked as an orderly in the prison library, ensuring books were properly stored.

His release from prison will come at a critical time. The longtime Trump ally is a strong supporter of the former president’s re-election bid.

His popular podcast “War Room” continued to air without him during his time in prison, and Bannon is likely to reemerge as a voice of incendiary political rhetoric ahead of November’s presidential election.

A trial in the case is scheduled for December.
