Aaaaahhhh…Facts. Begone with facts. To some Trumpists, that’s sorcery.

This is nuts. I've scoured the internet for anything Trump had to say about Whelan and came up with nothing other than the aforementioned "we're looking into that".

It's very odd IMO, considering Trump used his POTUS power and media access to compel the release of several other Americans from foreign prisons during his term in office. Even that Rapper "ASAP Rocky".
