NEW YORK (AP) — Longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon was released from federal prison early Tuesday and immediately resumed his full-throated support for the former president, urging Republicans to turn out in large numbers next week to defeat Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

Bannon served a four-month sentence for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021. He left the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, in the pre-dawn hours and headed to Manhattan, where he resumed his WarRoom podcast and online show and later held an afternoon news conference.
