This is, I think, a, you know, great, fabulous for the families, but it\u2019s a political move and why Russia would go now, get maximum concessions from a weak President Biden,\u201d Burgum said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Thursday, Biden announced that Gershkovich, Whelan and several other prisoners from different countries were released as part of the largest swap between the U.S. and Russia since the Cold War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia received eight prisoners who were being held and released 16 prisoners who were being wrongfully detained or were severely sentenced for minor offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Negotiations occurred over several months but the final details of the agreement came together just hours before Biden suspended his reelection campaign. Some White House officials pointed to that to show Biden is willing to put the presidency over his own political ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former President Trump later on Thursday demanded more details be released about the prisoner swap and touted his own record of bringing Americans home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Dakota Gov.
