- Former ambassador John Bolton had some tough words for Biden’s swap of American WNBA player Brittney Griner for Russian ‘Merchant Of Death’ arms dealer Viktor Bout.
- “Well, obviously, there’s a lot of very understandable human emotion here in getting Griner released, but this is a very bad mistake by the Biden administration. This is not a deal. This is not a swap. This is a surrender,” Bolton said to the CBSN streaming service.
- “This is a huge victory for Moscow,” he continued.
