Trump Claims Credit for Prisoner Release That Happened Years Before His Presidency Begin
President Donald Trump took credit for the release of prisoner Mariam Ibrahim, who was freed from prison 10 years before he even began his presidential campaign. The release occurred in Sudan in 2014, during the administration of President Barack Obama.
President Donald Trump took credit for the release of Egyptian prisoner Mariam Ibrahim, who was freed in 2014 while she was still pregnant and under house arrest, more than a year before he launched his presidential campaign. Ibrahim's father, Mohamed Ibrahim, had been imprisoned since 2009 on trumped-up charges. In a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, Trump said he had worked to secure her release, despite having no direct role in the process. The event has raised questions about Trump's accuracy and integrity as a public figure.
