U.S., Russia agree to prisoner swap to free Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan

The Biden administration has agreed to a prisoner exchange with Russia and is expected to soon secure the release of three American citizens imprisoned in Russia including Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine veteran Paul Whelan, and Russian-American radio journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, a senior administration official confirms. Others are believed to be part of the deal. CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes has more.

It’s so funny how Everyone wants to include Harris on this by saying she spoke to the Prime Minister of Germany.. which we know if Harris was to speak to such an educated man and the way she she speaks like a 3rd grader would be and embarrassment.. Knowing how German’s are and how they take everything seriously and how she is childish we all know she never sat down to speak about someone’s life.. She couldn’t had such an important conversation or job.. Look at California and the horrible job they’ve done to it… ALL THEY’RE TRYING TO DO IS GET HER BROWNIE POINT.. SHE ISN’T QUALIFIED.

If Germany released the Berlin assassin then this was a bad deal. What did Germany get out of this?

Many of these Russian prisoners where in European prisons. The US had few prisoners to swap with Russia, so the US asked if it's European allies were willing to give up Russians in their prisons in order to get some of the Americans home. One of them was a Russian that had spied on Norway and that served time in a Norwegian prison. What did Norway get out of this ?

I wonder why none of the articles I've seen are saying who they are swapping for Mr. Gershkovich. The last time, an international arms dealer was swapped for the basketball player. Who is Russia wanting in exchange and what will Germany get out of this? Also, will they stfu about Trump? They sound like little kids picking on another kid they don't like. If Trump isn't part of the deal, then why bring him up? Who tf cares if he hyped it up? Good lordy. These hosts act like school kids.
