Brittney Griner, the WNBA star who was held for months in Russian prisons on drug charges, was released Thursday in a one-for-one prisoner swap for international arms dealer Viktor Bout, CBS News learned early Thursday from a U.S. official. The one-for-one exchange agreement negotiated with Moscow in recent weeks was given final approval by President Biden within just the last week, according to sources familiar with the deal. The swap, first reported by CBS News, took place on Thursday in the United Arab Emirates.
Five former U.S. officials told CBS News the agreement had been reached as of last Thursday.
A White House official said the president spoke to Brittney Griner by phone. The call happened in the Oval Office, where the president was joined by Cherelle Griner, Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Per standard procedure for freed U.S. prisoners, Griner was expected to quickly undergo a medical evaluation.
Thank God.
Wow! I really didn't think it would ever happen. No matter what she did I wouldn't wish being locked up abroad in anyone.
Glad this black kang is freed. I hope mentally she is ok
About time, come on home King!
What did she say about the US previously? White people are trying it today. "All that crap she talked about the country and look who got her free, welcoming her with open arms, this whole world is upside down" I do t have the patience
Such a relief.

she took a knee when all that stuff was going on.
Even if she outright said america is the shittiest place to live on earth in the past .. anyone with a working brain will see why a black person feels that way
And wouldn't be dumb enough to ask why she wouldn't prefer to stay in a Russian labor camp as opposed to being a free person in the states
There is such a thing as the lesser of two evils . And as with most things here this is mostly political and a great photo op for Biden . It's a good thing he put effort behind this and ultimately she's free as a result so no complaints from me
But this isn't evidence that america just loves black people so much that it bends over backwards to support them. If that were the case I'd have reparations in my bank account right now waiting for me .
And anyone who tries to use this against her needs to find a hobby and some got damn brain cells.
they coulda left her in there tbh
she is a domestically abusive BITCH
:unbothered:
Bad bad bad move on the US's part.

because you don't watch sports :dead:
Her ordeal in Russia is far more popular than her basketball career. Did you hear her speaking voice on the court?

usually in the interviews right after the games or sometimes during the games you can hear her voice
This happens a lot in basketball and other sports
