Former President Donald Trump criticized a potential prisoner exchange that would return WNBA star Brittney Griner and former Marine Paul Whelan to the United States.
Trump made the comments as a guest on The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show on July 29. He said of the proposed swap that would send Russian weapons trafficker Viktor Bout back to Russia: “Doesn’t seem like a very good trade, does it?”
“We’re supposed to get her out for an absolute killer and one of the biggest arms dealers in the world,” Trump said. “Killed many Americans. Killed many people. And he’s gonna get a free card and we’re gonna get her.”
