Joe Biden rolled out of bed on Thursday to deliver remarks on the prisoner swap of American hostages.

As TGP reported, Russia has agreed to release four high-profile detainees – Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir Kara-Murza – as part of an unprecedented multi-country prisoner exchange.​

They are expected to arrive in the United States by nightfall.

The Released Detainees

• Evan Gershkovich: The Wall Street Journal reporter was arrested in March 2023 on espionage charges, which he and his employer vehemently denied.
• Paul Whelan: A former U.S. Marine detained since 2018, Whelan was serving a 16-year sentence for alleged espionage. Recall, Joe Biden announced he traded the world’s most wanted fugitive, Russian Viktor Bout, AKA, the “Merchant of Death” for pot-smoking anti-American baller Brittney Griner instead of Marine veteran Whelan.
• Alsu Kurmasheva: A Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty journalist with dual U.S.-Russian citizenship, Kurmasheva was detained in October 2023 on charges of failing to register as a “foreign agent.”
• Vladimir Kara-Murza: A prominent Russian opposition figure and journalist, Kara-Murza was serving a 25-year sentence for treason and spreading “false information” about the Russian military.

After mumbling through his prepared remarks, Biden began to walk away from the lectern when a reporter shouted a question.

“President Trump has said repeatedly that he could’ve gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange…” a reporter said to Biden.

Biden tried to zing Trump but he failed miserably.

“Why didn’t he do it when he was president?” Biden said as he shuffled away.

Two out of three of the prisoners were not even detained when Trump was president. They were unlawfully detained while Joe Biden was president!

WATCH:

REPORTER: “President Trump has said repeatedly that he could’ve gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange…”

BIDEN: “Why didn’t he do it when he was president?”
