in so many words:

"We'd like to thank President Biden, Secretary of State Blinken, and National Security Advisor Sullivan for their engagement with the Russian Federation to create the environment where Paul's freedom became a possibility."

"Early on, we were discouraged from speaking out about Paul's case. But we believe the media attention has been a crucial factor in securing Paul's freedom. Those first years were hard when the Trump Administration ignored Paul's wrongful detention, and it was media attention that helped to finally create critical mass and awareness within the U.S. government."

emphasis added by me.

From a comment on the WAPO article...

Here's a post from the brother of one of the hostages:

"Former President Trump appears to have mentioned my brother #PaulWhelan's wrongful detention more in the last 24 hours than he did in the 2 years of his presidency in which Paul was held hostage by #Russia (zero). I don't suggest he cares now any more than he did then (zero)," David Whelan said in the December 2022 post.

Trump cares for nothing unless there is something in it for him. Venal little man.

And another comment:

When President Harris trades Russian asset Donald Trump to Putin in exchange for a potato, Harris will have gotten the better deal.
