in. i believe that the russian authorities are throttling access to prisoners, american prisoners across russia. so i'm not sure if she is being seen by the embassy or what is going on. we haven't talked to her family but would be willing to. however, i'd like to say in general that i would urge americans to be very skeptical of any statement that comes out of a russian official's mouth about paul, about trevor and about brittany. they are stacking up americans to use as pawns. this is called hostage diplomacy. and we need to bring an end to it. it's a national security issue. and of course we would like to see brittany come home, paul come home, trevor come home as quickly as possible. >> political pawns. thank you so much. our thoughts are with you, the reeds and the griners.
