Trump meets with Stephen Hubbard after release from Russian jail

Washington — President Trump met with Stephen Hubbard , the American recently released from a Russian prison, at the White House on Friday.

Inviting reporters to join them in the Oval Office, the president called Hubbard a "very special man" who "suffered greatly." CBS News was first to report plans for the meeting.

Hubbard was jailed in Russia for more than four years after being accused of fighting as a mercenary for Ukraine. Hubbard, a 74-year-old retired teacher, returned home to the U.S. last week.
