Pennsylvania's congressional delegation is pushing for the release of a Butler native from detention in Russia.
A bipartisan delegation including Senators Dave McCormick and John Fetterman and a number of Representatives sent a letter to newly-confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio asking that he use "all of the tools at his disposal" to bring Marc Fogel home.
Fogel was detained in Moscow in August 2021 when he was accused of smuggling 17 grams of cannabis for medical reasons to treat chronic back pain and was ultimately sentenced to 14 years in a Russian prison.
He was classified as wrongfully detained late last year and has been in a Russian prison camp for more than 3 and a half years.
