Russia has dismissed suggestions that a former US marine accused of spying could be involved in a prisoner swap.

Paul Whelan, 48, was detained in Moscow last month. His family says he was simply visiting Russia to attend a wedding.

Spy vs spy. We have Maria Butina, who promises to be a trove of valuable information about the internal workings of the Russian disinformation program targeting the U.S. elections. They have Whelan with a thumb drive full of classified information. We will have to wait & see how this develops after we're finished debriefing Butina.

Of course Trump will take credit. His colossal ego demands it.
