Geneva, Switzerland (CNN) — US President Joe Biden said he had discussed the cases of two Americans detained in Russia during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, pledging to "follow through" on that discussion.

"I raised the case of two wrongfully imprisoned American citizens, Paul Whelan and Trevor Reed," Biden said during a news conference Wednesday following the summit in Geneva.

"The families of the detained Americans came up and we discussed them. We're going to follow through with that discussion. I am not going to walk away on that," he added.

A senior State Department official briefing reporters on the summit discussions wouldn't offer any details "other than to say that the President was very clear about the need to resolve these, these cases."

No word at this CNN article on whether or not Putin was actually glad to indeed talk about detained Americans.

Specifically the HUNDREDS of detained Americans held as political prisoner without trial or bail in our jails as a result of being at the Capotil on 1/6.

900,000 were present around the Capitol. If this was an insurrection, why didn’t they join in the fun?
