The release of Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Evan Gershkovich on Thursday, part of a massive and multinational prisoner swap, has drawn attention to a recent statement from former President Donald Trump about his ability to quickly secure his return should he be elected in the November elections.
In a publication in his social media platform, Truth Social, after Gershkovich was convicted of espionage and sentenced to 16 years in a Russian prison, Trump said President Joe Biden would "NEVER GET HIM OUT" unless he paid a "king's ransom."
