Marc Fogel, an American teacher jailed in Russia and deemed "wrongfully detained" by the US, has been released in an "exchange," the White House says
Marc Fogel the Oakmont teacher imprisoned in Russia since August 2021 for possession of medical marijuana legally dispensed in Pennsylvania was released Tuesday, his family confirmed.
“Marc Fogel spent 1,255 days locked away in a Russian penal colony under the Biden-Harris Administration while my congressional colleagues and I urged the State Department to bring him home. Thankfully, our prayers were answered with the election of President Donald J. Trump, whose leadership freed Marc in just 22 days. Today is a day of celebration, thankfulness, and gratitude knowing our fellow Pennsylvanian will soon be back on American soil with his family,” U.S. Rep. Guy Reschenthaler said in a statement.
Fogel was left behind by the August 2024 prisoner exchange but was finally designated as wrongfully detained by the U.S. government later in 2024.
