Asked by a reporter at a Thursday White House presser heralding the prisoner exchange with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s regime what he had to say to convicted felon former President Trump’s claim that he could have gotten the four American citizens held in Russia “without giving away anything in exchange,” President Biden simply responded with “Why didn’t he do it when he was president?” The snappy reply didn’t exactly refer to Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich (that’s a different story though), but it certainly did with former Marine Paul Whelan, who was arrested on December 28, 2018 – two years and 23 days before Trump left office.
