Elizabeth Whelan, the sister of Paul Whelan, who is currently imprisoned in Russia, was unable to secure a meeting with President Biden during her visit to Washington. She had hoped to discuss her brother's case and urge the president to find a solution to bring him home. The US considers Paul Whelan to be wrongfully detained and has made prisoner swaps to secure the release of other Americans held in Russia. Elizabeth Whelan believes that negotiating her brother's release will become more complicated once another American journalist, Evan Gershkovich, is likely convicted on espionage charges.
