Marc Fogel, an American who had been detained in Russia since 2021, landed back in the U.S. on Tuesday.
Fogel, a history teacher who was working at the Anglo-American School in Moscow, returned to the U.S. after his release from Russia following talks with the Trump administration.
He was serving a 14-year sentence after his arrest in August 2021 at a Russian airport for possession of drugs, which his family said was medically prescribed marijuana.
Fogel was seen in a picture posted by the White House on social media smiling and raising his fist while wrapped in an American flag as he walked off the plane on U.S. soil.
"MARC FOGEL IS BACK!!! PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT!!!" the White House wrote on X.
After his arrival in the U.S., Fogel, from Pennsylvania, met with President Donald Trump at the White House and called him a hero for securing his release.
"I want you to know that I am not a hero in this at all. And President Trump is a hero," Fogel said after meeting Trump.
"These men that came from the diplomatic service are heroes," Fogel continued. "The senators and representatives that passed legislation in my honor – they got me home – they are heroes."

With Pedo Joe, the Grift will continue even after they plant him...
What did he do for his apparent pain while in jail?
Maybe Joe will be used in 30 second Ad spots to sell something like Sominex or Fleet Laxative Beverage.
I can see him doing a “What’s In Your Wallet?” Credit Card Ad. That should not need any more than 30 camera takes to get it right.
Y’all kind of have to be stupid to ignore
the laws of another country.
The only thing that surprised me was that Russia
didn’t just deport him(and send him a bill) rather than bother with trial and prison costs for such an
insignificant crime.
Probably pills that soon became ineffective and annihilated his liver in the process
They give unreasonable sentences to foreigners to use them as pawns.
A Russian citizen wouldn’t spend even 1 year in jail for this as a first offense.
Fogel received hundreds of injections for his back pain. If they were all in his back, that would be quiet messy. The ignorant Russians could have used CBD and avoided all the trouble.
Even better news than Brandon down the rabbit hole, is another hostage release tomorrow.
Full List of Americans Freed by Donald Trump After Being Detained Abroad
Is hostage incorrect? He apparently broke a law over there. I agree it was an extremely long sentence he was given but I still wouldn’t say he was a hostage.
In Russia this counts as a significant crime.
“Freed American HOSTAGE”
A little anti-Russia jab there, considering that their sentence is likely consistent with half of the world.
BRING MARIJUANA TO RUZSIA, FAFO. period.
I’m envisioning Dr. Jill and Hunter making money of of Joe’s “likeness” (not to be confused with likeability) after he’s gone.
Exchange fund
So - Biden did a deal to get Griner released after she blatantly broke the law but left a guy behind who thought his medical pot would be OK...
I am hearing this for the first time.
I assumed he was framed for some bogus crime.
My second impression...
Anyone who travels internationally with marijuana is a complete moron.
Fox News devoted about 60 minutes of live coverage to this guy being greeted at the White House by President Trump.
Was the White House visit Secretary RFK's idea?
Trump declaring his support for Medical Marijuana?
They give unreasonable sentences to foreigners to use them as pawns.
++++++++++
Substitute “Trump supporters” for foreigners and you are beginning to describe biden regime actions on J6.
Anyone who travels internationally with marijuana is a complete moron.
