U.S. Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, had the honor of meeting former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan who was wrongfully detained in Russia for the last five years.
“It is an incredible relief to have Mr. Whelan home sharing his story and advocating on behalf of those who remain wrongfully imprisoned around the world. The United States will not tolerate its citizens being used as political pawns,” Pfluger’s newsletter said.
