Jailed American schoolteacher released from Russia

The Trump administration has secured the release of an American who had been jailed in Russia for more than three years. American teacher Marc Fogel was released by Russia and left the country accompanied by President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff. The White House national security adviser said the U.S. and Russia “negotiated an exchange” but did not say if the U.S. released anybody in return. Fogel was arrested in August 2021 and was serving a 14-year prison term. His family and supporters said he was traveling with medically prescribed marijuana.
