McCain believes the U.S. should be doing more as Navalny is now in prison for 2 1/2 years for going to Germany to get treatment after the poison attack.
The Russian government says leaving the country was a violation of his parole, whereas Navalny says he got convicted on trumped-up charges.
Navalny is now on a hunger strike in prison after he said the prison guards are refusing him medical care for leg and back pain and depriving him of sleep by waking him up every hour.
