The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and the former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan are reportedly being released Thursday in a prisoner exchange between Russia, Germany, and the United States. This swap would be one of the largest between Moscow and the West since the Cold War.  Gershkovich was sentenced to 16 years in prison on July 19 after being accused of espionage while on a reporting assignment for the WSJ in Russia. Whelan was also convicted of spying and has been serving his 16-year sentence since 2018. The U.S. maintains that both charges were baseless.  According to Axios, Turkey is involved in coordinating the prisoner exchange. “Three people were transferred to the U.S., 10 people—including two children—were sent to Russia and 13 were transferred [to] Germany,” reported Axios.  This deal would follow the last exchange between Washington and Moscow in 2022 of WNBA player Brittney Griner for the infamous arms trafficker Viktor Bout.

I found this 41-Second clip on VNN (https://vigilantnews.com/) of Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) sharing his frustration with LYING Secret Service noting how Conspiracy Theories are emerging as Conspiracy Fact. The video was posted on VNN on 7/31/24 (https://bit.ly/3WsPFz0). VNN Description: “This clip has people saying, “John Kennedy is an absolute legend!” Senator John Kennedy tells Fox News that “we’re going to have to get some new conspiracy theories” surrounding the Trump assassination attempt “because all the old ones turned out to be true.” Today, an explosive new video revealed that a person was running on top of the roof where Thomas Crooks shot from in plain sight moments before taking aim at Trump and the crowd. Yet, Secret Service did nothing to get Trump off stage. “We’re going to chase the Secret Service like they stole Thanksgiving until they answer these questions about what happened. The American people deserve to know,” Kennedy said.”
