WASHINGTON — President Trump swapped Russian prisoner Alexander Vinnik for the release of American teacher Marc Fogel, an administration official confirmed to The Post.
Vinnik was arrested back in 2017 in Greece and extradited to the US.
He was accused of running digital currency exchange BTC-e and committing money laundering through the site.
Fogel returned to the US Tuesday night after being held captive in Russia for three and a half years on marijuana charges.
He visited the White House and called Trump a “hero” for getting the deal done.
