Historic Prisoner Exchange: Gershkovich and Whelan Repatriated to U.S. After Russian Detention
U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich and ex-U.S. Marine Paul Whelan returned to the United States on Thursday, hours after being freed from Russian detention in the biggest prisoner exchange between the two countries since the Cold War.,The White House said it negotiated the trade with Russia, Germany and three other countries.
The deal, worked on in secrecy for more than a year, involved 24 prisoners - 16 moving from Russia to the West and eight sent back to Russia from the West.
In a surprising and hilarious turn at the White House, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fielded tough (and adorable) questions from kids during the "Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day" press briefing. From Trump's favorite McDonaldās order to his ice cream preferences and even how many people heās fired ā no question was off the table! Watch the full light-hearted yet revealing exchange as the next generation of reporters puts the White House on the spot.

At a recent White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt avoided answering a direct question about former President Trumpās viral āClinton Body Countā post. The exchange grew tense as a reporter pressed for clarity on the allegations, leading Leavitt to deflect responsibility to the Department of Justice. The confrontation has reignited public debate and scrutiny over the controversial conspiracy theory.

President Donald Trump has formally invited Pope Leo, the first American pontiff, to visit Washington. The invitation, delivered by Vice President J.D. Vance during the Popeās inaugural mass, comes as Pope Leo positions himself as a global peace mediator. The Pope and Vance also met with Ukrainian President Zelensky, signaling the Vatican's active role in seeking a resolution to the war in Ukraine. As Trump prepares for a call with President Putin, the White House confirms its hope that the Popeās influence may help ease rising global tensions.
