Family of American imprisoned in Russia believes he was targeted over past military service
CNN
The parents of Trevor Reed, an American who has been imprisoned in Russia for almost two years, revealed for the first time on Thursday that their son served as a Marine presidential guard -- a fact they believe led Russia to target him for what they say is wrongful detention.
Joey and Paula Reed told CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" that they felt it was time to speak out about Trevor's past military career, which they said included assignments at the Marine barracks in Washington, DC, and Camp David under the Obama administration. "We believe this is one of the main reasons why he was held by the Russians," Joey Reed said, adding that his son was questioned by Russia's Federal Security Service about his military service.More Related News
