US-Russia Prisoner Exchange, Mark Fogle Exclusion
The largest prisoner swap in post-Soviet history resulted in the release of Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich, and Alsu Kurmasheva. However, the family of Mark Fogle, a teacher serving 14 years for medical marijuana, expressed outrage that he was left behind. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan defended the deal, which involved releasing a convicted Russian murderer and several spies.
