Prisoner Swap Deal Involving Alexei Navalny

The White House regrets not being able to include Alexei Navalny in a prisoner swap deal with Russia due to his death while serving a 19-year sentence after exposing Kremlin corruption. Navalny's sudden death shocked the White House team who had been working on the swap deal, which eventually saw 16 people, including three US citizens, freed in exchange for 10 Russians chosen by the Kremlin.
