Elizabeth Whelan told CBS News she requested the meeting to ensure the president's advisers 'have given him a complete picture of what it might take to bring Paul home.'
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has since been arrested on unsubstantiated espionage charges and is awaiting trial. The U.S. has also declared him wrongfully detained.
"We have this period of time before that happens to get Paul out because things are going to get exceptionally complicated," she said, adding that there needs to be"a sense of urgency that I'm not sure I'm feeling right now." While the meeting with Mr. Biden didn't happen, the Whelan family said they were grateful that Lynne Tracy, the U.S. ambassador in Moscow, visited him in prison Wednesday.
