Trump slams reported prisoner swap of Brittney Griner, Paul Whelan for Russian arms dealer.
It was reported earlier this week that the Biden administration was exchanging Russian national Viktor Bout — currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for supplying weapons to a terrorist organization and conspiring to kill Americans — for Griner and Whelan's release.Trump blamed Griner for her detention, repeatedly saying Griner went to Russia "loaded up with drugs."
"We’re supposed to get her out for an absolute killer and one of the biggest arms dealers in the world. Killed many Americans. Killed many people. And he’s gonna get a free card and we’re gonna get her," Trump said, referring to Bout.
