senate judiciary committee her prolonged absence has affected the status of several of president biden's judicial appointments last week feinstein herself requested that democrats temporarily replace her spot on the committee in order to approve these nominees chuck schumer asked for unanimous consent to swap feinstein for maryland senator ben cardin, however, lindsey graham, the top republican on the judiciary committee voiced his opposition to the move by democrats. here's what he had to say. >> this is about a handful of judges that you can't get the votes for of the reason this is being made is to try to change the numbers on the committee in a way that i think would be harmful to the senate and to pass out a handful of judges that i think should never be on the bench. >> reporter: now this unsuccessful request by feinstein came in response to renewed concerns from democrats in recent weeks about her absence from congress.

several members of the party have called for the 89-year-old democrat to resign, including fellow californian ro khanna after the committee swap failed on tuesday, he told nbc news tt the request did not happen as many had wanted. she has not offered any timeline for when she plans to return to the senate i'm drew petramoix, back to you. the white house has made available the tax returns of president biden and the first lady joe and jill biden made just shy of $587,000, roughly $30,000 less than 2021 the president is still the main breadwinner with his yearly salary of 400k and a $50,000 expense allowance. every president since nixon have released tax returns except for former president trump

>> speaking of trump, he just released a new set of nfts for $99. if you have not grabbed these already, it's too late they are all sold out. it happened in mere hours according to trump on truth social he says he made $4.6 million off of them we should note that nbc fnews cannot independently verify that a russian court has rejected the appeal of evan gershkovich chapman bell joins us. what does the ruling mean for the hopes of bringing gershkovich home >> reporter: good morning, frances. it means it could be quite some time gershkovich appearing in court as he heard his appeal for bail or house arrest being denied but this ruling means he'll likely remain in jail until his

trial. he does have a pretrial hearing next month, but russian lawyers say espionage cases can take more than a year to investigate, meaning it could be a while before his trial even begins, and it's also important to remember that in russia, 99% of those who are tried are convicted, and if convicted, he faces 20 years in prison for this now both gershkovich and the u.s. government strongly deny the spying allegations the u.s. ambassador to russia was in court and was able to meet with gershkovich before the hearing, and she had this to say, take a listen >> the kargescharges against ev baseless and we call on the russian federation to immediately release him. we also call for the immediate release of paul whelan, paul has been held more than four years in russia. both men deserve to go home to their families now

>> reporter: and as you hear, the ambassador referring to american paul whelan who was convicted of espionage in russia according to the state department, remains unlawfully detained his family releasing a new statement saying he feels abandoned by the white house and is worried the u.s. may make a decision again that leaves paul in russia, referring to those two other high-profile prisoner exchanges between the u.s. and russia that have occurred since he's been detained there now a top russian diplomat does say that russia might discuss a prisoner swap, but as we know from previous attempts like this, it requires a trial and a conviction before these are even discussed. so it could be some time that there is a possible swap for gershkovich and a russian prisoner in the united states. so, again, frances, this may take some time for evan gershkovich to remain mbehind
