Trump boasted that his hostage release record was better than 'any other administration' while denouncing a prisoner swap for WNBA star Brittney Griner.
Former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan is pictured on the left in a holding cell in Moscow, Russia, on August 23, 2019, while former President Donald Trump is shown on the right while speaking to the media in Palm Beach, Florida, on November 8, 2022. Whelan's brother David on Friday said Trump cares"zero" about Paul after the former president mentioned him repeatedly while denouncing a prisoner swap for WNBA star Brittney Griner.
Trump touted his record of freeing overseas American hostages in a Truth Social post on Friday, while blasting President 's administration for negotiating the release of"America hating" WNBA star Griner instead of Whelan.
