Trevor Reed's family says he has vowed to help bring Paul Whelan home
CNN
The family of Trevor Reed, a recently freed US citizen who had been detained in Russia since 2019, said that he feels "horrible" about being home while Paul Whelan remains in Russian custody.
"He said, 'I feel horrible about being home and not having Paul here.' He said, 'I don't understand why I'm here and Paul's not.' And he said, 'and I am not doing well now, but as soon as I get better, I'm going to work on bringing Paul home,' " Trevor's mother, Paula, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" on Friday.
Reed was released in a prisoner swap that took place in Turkey on Wednesday after having been detained for nearly three years. His release has brought renewed attention to the cases of Whelan and WNBA player Brittney Griner, who was arrested by Russian authorities in February at a Moscow airport and accused of smuggling significant amounts of a narcotic substance.
