President Trump’s former top political adviser Steve Bannon was released from a federal prison Tuesday after completing a four-month sentence on charges of contempt of Congress. In 2022, a jury found Bannon guilty of defying congressional subpoenas related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Shortly after his release, Bannon held a press conference in New York City, where he was interrupted by the comic Rob Potylo, who disguised himself as a MAGA supporter.
Rob Potylo: “Steve, Robby Roadsteamer here. I’m wondering: When’s the next insurrection? And can we storm the Burger King after this?”
Bannon still faces criminal charges in New York for allegedly defrauding donors to an anti-immigrant nonprofit called We Build the Wall out of more than $15 million and laundering the proceeds. That trial is set to begin on December 9.
