"We have been raising Paul Whelan's case with the Russians since the earliest days of this administration," one senior administration official said during a background briefing.
A White House official told ESPN on Thursday that the United States at one point offered a straight trade of Bout for Whelan, who has 12 years remaining on his sentence.
"It was a nonstarter," the White House official said. Russian officials said they considered Whelan to be a "different class" of prisoner than Griner or Bout. But officials said their Russian counterparts have not offered any counterproposal involving Whelan.

Why are Griner and Bout on the same class? What does an WNBA player have in common with an arms dealer?

They caught him with a flash drive containing classified information, apparently.
