President Donald Trump welcomes Marc Fogel back to the United States after being released from Russian custody, at the White House on Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025 in Washington, D.C.
Marc Fogel, an history teacher from Oakmont who was deemed wrongfully detained by Russia, was released and returned to the U.S. on Tuesday.
Steve Witkoff, a special envoy for President Donald Trump, left Russia with Fogel and brought him to the White House, where Trump greeted him.
“I feel like the luckiest man on Earth right now,” Fogel said as he stood next to Trump with an American flag draped around his shoulders.
Fogel, who was expected to be reunited with his family on Wednesday, said he would forever be indebted to Trump.
