The parents of a Marine veteran imprisoned in Russia have met at the White House with President Joe Biden and senior staffers.
Joey and Paula Reed, parents of U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Russian prisoner Trevor Reed, stand in Lafayette Park near the White House, Wednesday, March 30, 2022, in Washington. The Reeds are urging President Joe Biden to advocate for their son's release from his nine-year prison term on charges alleging that he assaulted police officers in Moscow.
On Wednesday evening, the couple met in the Oval Office with Biden and some senior administration officials for more than a half hour, according to Jonathan Franks, a spokesman for the Reed family. He declined to discuss specifics of the meeting.
