Donald Trump secures release of American Marc Fogel

[Commander Wallace]

American Marc Vogel Has been released from Russia. Marc Fogel was designated by the U.S. as wrongfully detained by Russia. Russia released Fogel and another American to be named as a show of good faith.

Quote:

A history teacher from Pennsylvania, Fogel was arrested by Russian authorities at the airport in Moscow in 2021. His family had said he was carrying 17 grams of marijuana for medical reasons to treat chronic back pain.


His family had pushed for Mr. Trump's predecessor, former President Joe Biden, to secure his release, particularly after Fogel was left out of prisoner swaps negotiated by the previous administration. In December 2022, Russia released WNBA star Brittney Griner in a one-for-one prisoner swap for international arms dealer Viktor Bout.

I hope Marc is in good health after his ordeal.



Welcome home, Marc.
