WASHINGTON, United States: US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin led to the release of former US Marine Robert Gilman, who had been held for more than four years, accused of assaulting a police officer.
“After my discussions with President Vladimir Putin, Russia has agreed to release him, very much on a Humanitarian Basis,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Included in the post was a photo of a gaunt-looking Gilman in a baseball cap aboard an airplane holding an American flag with several other smiling people.
