The 70-year-old presented the accusations against him as politically motivated. However, "the four months in prison could not break me. They made me stronger", Bannon emphasized after his release.
Wants to mobilize the Trump base
During his prison sentence, Trump's former campaign manager and host of the podcast "War Room" had made it clear that he wanted to continue to influence the elections and mobilize the Trump base. He did not waste much time after his release, hosting his show just a few hours later.
Despite being in prison, he is said to have remained in contact with a small circle of loyal followers to discuss current news and political issues.
