Russian Arms Dealer freed by Joe Biden is running for office after Brittney Griner trade

President Joe Biden did a prisoner swap, trading WNBA player Brittney Griner for the 'Merchant of Death' - a Russian arms dealer who is now running for political office in Russia. Reuters reported on it, saying the following: "A Russian arms dealer freed last December in a prisoner swap for U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner has been chosen as the candidate of a far-right party for a seat in a Russian regional legislature, state news agency RIA reported on Sunday." Reuters also stated: "RIA cited an official in Russia's ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR)'s local organisation as saying that Bout had been nominated as a candidate for the legislative assembly of the Ulyanovsk region in central Russia."
