The sister of Paul Whelan, an American who has been declared wrongfully detained in Russia, is hoping to meet again with President Joe Biden to press him to do everything he can to bring her brother home.Video above: Biden comments on Paul Whelan in December 2022Elizabeth Whelan, who is in Washington, DC, this week for a series of meetings with administration and congressional officials, expressed her appreciation for the administration바카라 게임 웹사이트�s efforts but said the president will eventually need to intervene.As of Wednesday night, no meeting with Biden had been scheduled, she told CNN바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Erin Burnett on 바카라 게임 웹사이트�OutFront,바카라 게임 웹사이트� adding that she had learned earlier in the day that she 바카라 게임 웹사이트�probably will not get that meeting.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�I have to say that I am a little frustrated and trying not to be depressed. I don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have a lot of leverage to use to get meetings 바카라 게임 웹사이트� like I am not a big media company, I don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have a lot of expensive lawyers,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Elizabeth Whelan said, noting that she will keep fighting for her brother.Earlier Wednesday, she told CNN that though she admires the work being done by the Biden administration on her brother바카라 게임 웹사이트�s behalf, she feels they have only leveraged 80% of possible efforts to secure his release.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I admire what they바카라 게임 웹사이트�re doing on the 80%. I really admire that they바카라 게임 웹사이트�re doing great work, but if it doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t get Paul home, what바카라 게임 웹사이트�s the point?바카라 게임 웹사이트� Elizabeth Whelan said.바카라 게임 웹사이트�And that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a key area of frustration and that is why I wanted to meet with the president. I want to have his assurance that his advisers are telling him everything that needs to be done to get to 100%,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.Biden met with Elizabeth Whelan in September 2022. At the time, the U.S. president also met with the Cherelle Griner, the wife of formally detained WNBA star Brittney Griner, who was freed in a prisoner swap in December.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s very much in the forefront of my mind that I was getting meetings and calls while Brittany Griner was being held. But now that she has been released, does that mean that an ordinary citizen like Paul Whelan and his family is no longer able to access those high levels?바카라 게임 웹사이트� she asked.A National Security Council spokesperson said that U.S. officials would meet with Elizabeth Whelan but said they did not have specific meetings to preview as of Wednesday.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have any meetings with the president to speak to but she is in town and she is going to be meeting with the White House officials and it will be a good opportunity to update her on our efforts to get Paul back. Those efforts are very active and very ongoing,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said White House Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby Wednesday.The Biden administration has said repeatedly that they are focused on bringing Paul Whelan and Evan Gershkovich, the Wall Street Journal reporter who has also been designated by the U.S. government as wrongfully detained, home as soon as possible.The administration put forward a serious proposal for Whelan바카라 게임 웹사이트�s release more than eight months ago, but Russia has not responded in a substantive way, two administration officials told CNN.And although that proposal remains a live offer, the lack of substantive Russian response 바카라 게임 웹사이트� as well as Gerskovich바카라 게임 웹사이트�s detention 바카라 게임 웹사이트� has forced the U.S. to continue efforts to search for another offer to put on the table, a senior administration official said last month.The senior administration official said that it 바카라 게임 웹사이트�remains a necessity that we figure out how to resolve this.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�If we can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t make it happen based on what바카라 게임 웹사이트�s available to us now, we바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll need to figure out what that takes so we can bring our people home,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the official said.Last month, Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke by phone with Paul Whelan and told him to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�keep the faith and we바카라 게임 웹사이트�re doing everything we can to bring you home as soon as possible,바카라 게임 웹사이트� a source said. This was the second time Blinken had spoken to Whelan, who has been detained in Russia for more than four years, the source said.On Wednesday, U.S. Ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracy visited Paul Whelan at his remote prison camp in Mordovia 바카라 게임 웹사이트� some eight hours from Moscow, according to the embassy.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Ambassador Tracy reiterated to him that President Biden and Secretary Blinken are committed to bring him home,바카라 게임 웹사이트� State Department spokesperson Matt Miller said Wednesday.David Whelan, Paul바카라 게임 웹사이트�s brother, told CNN recently that his family is beginning to come to terms with the fact that Paul Whelan may have to serve out his full sixteen year sentence on espionage charges he and the U.S. government vehemently denied.Elizabeth Whelan바카라 게임 웹사이트�s view, however, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�is Paul is never coming home until we do what it takes to get him out,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she told CNN.바카라 게임 웹사이트�He is not leaving Russia and everybody needs to get that in their heads and work with that in mind, work to win now in the next few months. I am really concerned that we will not see Paul back in the United States again ever if that work isn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t done,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.
