President Trump had the opportunity free Whelan while he was in office.

This is true. What efforts did Trump make? What are Trump's public statements regarding Whelan?

A search of the archived Trump White House website turns up only one reference to Whelan: in a response to a reporter's question on 1/6/2019 Trump answered: "Yeah, we're looking into that."

There are also news reports from June 2019 of Whelan in Moscow, pleading for Trump to bring up his 'kidnapping' to Russia on Twitter. There is no record of Trump having done so while he was on that platform.

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