Rep. Reschenthaler to Newsmax: Biden Played Politics With Marc Fogel’s Case

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., told Newsmax Friday that the Biden administration played politics with the life of recently released American schoolteacher Marc Fogel, who was wrongfully detained in Russia for more than 1,200 days.

“We couldn’t even get [former] Secretary [of State Antony] Blinken to tell us why Marc Fogel was not put on wrongfully detained status,” Reschenthaler said on “Wake Up America.”

“You have to be put on wrongfully detained status to be eligible for a prisoner swap or negotiations,” he continued. “They wouldn’t even tell members of Congress why they weren’t putting him on that status. Again, [WNBA star] Brittney Griner, similar circumstances, was put on wrongfully detained status in about 48 hours.”
