<p>President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> took a swipe at former President Donald Trump over the hostages released Thursday from Russia, and CNN&#8217;s Dana Bash called his jab &#8220;a mic-drop moment&#8221; — but it was all a lie.</p>
<p>During a press event to discuss the release of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/their-brutal-ordeal-is-over-biden-addresses-russian-prisoner-swap-of-journalists-marine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">four hostages</a> — Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine veteran Paul Whelan, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir Kara-Murza — Biden was prompted by Reuters&#8217; Andrea Shalal to respond to former President Donald Trump&#8217;s claim that he would get the hostages released if reelected in November.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why didn&#8217;t he do it when he was president?&#8221; Biden asked.</p>
<p>Bash responded to Biden&#8217;s jab during CNN&#8217;s coverage of the moment, saying, &#8220;I think that was what they call a &#8216;mic drop&#8217; moment.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Reporter: &#8220;President Trump has said repeatedly that he could have gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange. What do you say to that?&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@POTUS</a>: &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t he do it when he was president?&#8221;<a href="https://twitter.com/DanaBashCNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DanaBashCNN</a>: &#8220;I think that was what they call a &#8216;mic drop&#8217; moment.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/MIUKa5LpBa">pic.twitter.com/MIUKa5LpBa</a></p>

<p>But as many were quick to point out, it would not have been possible for Trump to secure the release of those four hostages because only one of them — Whelan, who was arrested in 2018 — was actually being held in Russia during his presidency. The other three have all been detained since Biden took office in January of 2021.</p>
<p>&#8220;I, too, would like to know why Trump didn&#8217;t take action on something that happened after he left the White House,&#8221; one critic posted.</p>

<p>&#8220;CNN’s Dana Bash said it was a &#8216;mic drop moment&#8217; when Biden ended his press conference answering Trumps claim that he would have freed the prisoners. His &#8216;mic drop&#8217; was &#8216;why didn’t he do it when he was President?&#8217; Well, 75% of the people released weren’t imprisoned when Trump was president. So, that might explain the majority of the reason,&#8221; Stu Burguiere added.</p>
