Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan are free: Russia releases Americans in prisoner swap​


WASHINGTON ― Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan were released from Russian custody Thursday as part of the biggest prisoner exchange between Washington, Moscow and four other governments since the Cold War.

Biden, speaking from the White House, thanked U.S. allies Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Norway, and Turkey for helping in what he described as a “feat of diplomacy.”

“They stood with us," Biden said. "They made bold and brave decisions, released prisoners being held in their countries who were justifiably being held and provided the logistical support to get the Americans home."

It Certainly Was.

I Watched All This Unfold Under The Direction of The Great One, Donald J. Trump.



In fact, several of the deals resulting in the release of Americans held hostage or being wrongfully detained abroad came as a result of prisoner swaps during Trump’s time in office.


  • In November 2019, the Trump administration secured the release of American Kevin King and Australian Timothy Weeks, who were being held by the Taliban, in exchange for the release of three senior Taliban leaders being held in jails in Afghanistan.
  • In December 2019, the U.S. did a prisoner exchange with Iran, freeing Xiyue Wang, a graduate student at Princeton University who was serving a 10-year sentence in Iran on espionage charges. To secure Wang’s release, the U.S. freed Masoud Soleimani, an Iranian scientist convicted of export violations.
  • In July 2020, the Trump administration secured the release of Michael White, a Marine veteran jailed in Iran on charges of insulting the country’s supreme leader, in exchange for the release of a dermatologist convicted on export violations.
  • In October 2020, a deputy assistant to Trump helped broker a deal to free two Americans being held hostage by Iranian-backed militants in Yemen in exchange for the release of about 250 Houthi rebels being held in Oman.

Trump made the freeing of hostages held in overseas jails an administration priority.

The leaders of several countries came together to get this done, considering those leaders hate Trump, there's no way they would have agreed to this deal had he been president
