Another American captive is set to return home on Wednesday, just one day after Marc Fogel, the Pennsylvania teacher who had been detained in Russia, made his way back to the U.S.
Adam Boehler, the special envoy for hostages under President Trump, confirmed the upcoming release during a Fox News interview on Tuesday evening.
“It’s another in a stream of hostages. It’ll be unilateral as well. And I can’t release [the person’s name] until the person’s released, obviously it could endanger the hostage release and that I can’t do,” Boehler said to host Sean Hannity.
Boehler went on to add, “But I can say that we expect another one tomorrow. And hopefully a lot more through that, because the president made it a priority to get all Americans home.”
This announcement came shortly before Fogel was expected to meet President Trump at the White House. Fogel had been sentenced to 14 years in a Russian prison after his arrest for possessing what he said was legally prescribed marijuana.
Earlier today, the White House confirmed Fogel’s release.
It remains unclear exactly which, if any, Russians held by the U.S. are being exchanged for Fogel’s freedom.
