Worried wife Cherelle Griner gave Abby Phillips of CNN an update on her WNBA star spouse Brittney Griner’s condition.
“Cherelle Griner told me she had a good meeting with Biden. He gave her more confidence in the admin’s efforts to bring Brittney Griner home, ‘It allowed me to have confidence in what he’s doing right now,'” Phillips said.
Griner is currently serving a two-year sentence in a Russian prison after being convicted of assault following a brawl at a nightclub in Moscow.
“She’s not well, she’s losing it,” Cherelle Griner said of her wife. “She’s hanging in there, but she’s losing it.”
Cherelle Griner added that the Trump administration was “not doing anything” to help Brittney Griner and that she was “disappointed” in them.
The Biden administration has pledged to work to secure the release of all Americans who are being held unjustly overseas, including Brittney Griner.
Griner’s wife continued: “Griner said Biden alluded to media coverage that reported the administration was prepared to swap at least on Russian imprisoned in the US for Griner and another detained American Paul Wheelan.
“But Biden did not get into specifics about the details of a swap.
“Cherelle’s sense after meeting with Biden was that negotiations have been very complex but that Biden is determined to get a deal done:
“I don’t think they have quite figured out exactly what Russia wants in return for BG. Cherelle has been exchanging letters from BG during her imprisonment in Russia. But recently those letters have taken a dark turn. She’s not well. She’s losing it.”
She continued after meeting with President Biden this week: “I want to thank President Biden for yesterday’s meeting as well as the Administration for its efforts to secure my wife’s release.”
“It was an honor to speak with him directly about the Brittney we know and love. I’ve felt every minute of the grueling seven months without her. I look forward to the day my wife is back home.”
“As my family and I continue on this journey, I’d like to thank the broad coalition of friends, leaders and supporters who continue to stand with us and advocate for Brittney’s swift and safe return. Let’s share a unified commitment to bringing all Americans home to their families and loved ones. Together We Are BG.”
Brittney Griner, a world-renowned basketball player with two Olympic gold medals, was sentenced to nine years in a Russian penal colony after being caught trying to smuggle illegal drugs into the country.
Her attorneys have appealed the conviction, arguing that the drugs were for personal use and that Griner had no intention of smuggling them into the country. However, the Russian court has upheld the sentence, and Griner will now have to serve her time in a Russian prison.
Why is she blaming the Trump administration. She was detained under the watch of Biden?
My thoughts exactly!!! Guess they like to blame Trump for everything. Democrats are really sick people; especially if they are still a Democrat after this clusterphuck of an administration.
I was just rereading that. It is a sneaky way to change the truth without anyone knowing. This stories time line will fade but in a year or two they will swear they read Trump did nothing and they will be honest because the did, They read a lie, haters of Trump won’t question it. The will recall it if it is ever a topic of their future conversation topics. LISTEN between the lines and READ what isn’t written!!!! Words are so important in life.
Agree, why mention Trump. He wasn’t in office when she committed the crime.
I agree 100%. Trumps wasn’t even President.
Absolutely what a bunch of crap to blame Trump
Trump was not in office when this happened. How can she expect Trump to do anything? Bimbo Biden is in charge and he is not going to do anything. He doesn’t give a damn because he is not in control! He is a puppet.
Trump got the Ball kid bball player at the time for ucla off in China for stealing. So, Trump has influence
Shesy blaming Trump because that’s what the do. Blame anybody except their selves. Trump replaced Bush as Numero uno for this bs.
Why should anyone care if Brittney is losing it or not.She’s the one who took drugs into Russia knowing their laws on Drugs were stiffer than the United States as most other countries are.Why is everything Trump’s fault? I say leave her there.Not our problem.
I thought she was arrested for drugs at the airport not a fight at a bar
he was-more disinformation from the left
She is there 9 years not 2
Biden isn’t doing a thing. If she believes that, she’s very foolish. Biden has no interest; he doesn’t care. And he lies about everything. His entire life is a lie.
he did this thou lol lol NO MEDIA COVERAGE hummmm WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia and the United States have carried out a dramatic prisoner exchange, trading a Marine veteran jailed in Moscow for a convicted Russian drug trafficker serving a long prison sentence in America, both countries announced Wednesday.
The surprise deal involving Trevor Reed, an American jailed for nearly three years, would have been a notable diplomatic maneuver even in times of peace, but it was all the more extraordinary because it was done as Russia’s war with Ukraine has driven relations with the U.S. to their lowest point in decades.

“Today, our prayers have been answered and Trevor is on his way back safely to the United States,” Reed’s family said in a statement.
President Joe Biden, who met in Washington with Reed’s parents last month, trumpeted Reed’s release and noted without elaboration that “the negotiations that allowed us to bring Trevor home required difficult decisions that I do not take lightly.” The Russian foreign ministry described the exchange as the “result of a long negotiation process.”
Maybe if she ‘takes a knee’ Biden will have her released, riiiiiiiiiight!
She’s just another over paid athlete who thinks the the world owes her a living, not to mention she hates America. Leave her there she broke the law and must pay the consequences. God Bless America
See Blacks don’t think the laws were for them
Funny how she said it’s been a grueling 7 months without her yet blames Trump…Honey Biden has been in office longer than 7 months. Looks like you need to blame Biden and quit praising the man!
Griner is currently serving a two-year sentence in a Russian prison after being convicted of assault following a brawl at a nightclub in Moscow….. something not right here. she was convicted of smuggling cartridges containing weed and was sentenced to 9 years. this article is so wrong. the writer of this article needs to get the facts straight
I saw that too. Same article and they still get it
wrong.
Britney is getting what she deserves . She broke their law and now is paying for her stupid mistake . She didn’t like our National Anthem and now how nice she had it in the United States. How can she blame anything on to Trump , she got caught in the Biden administration. 😡😡😡😡😡
Is it not illegal to transport drugs into or out of ANY country? I say if she comes back to the USA, she loses her rights to have a passport after this. She should no longer be allowed the right to travel outside the US. She should not go unpunished here for all the problems she caused by being selfish. Oh and someone tell wifey, Trump had zero to do with this since she was arrested under Biden.
Democrats suck
News flash, Trump is not in office, he doesn’t have “an administration.” Her stupidity is only surpassed by her hatefulness. If she’s waiting for Biden, the Inflation President, to do anything on Griner’s behalf, she’s going to have a long wait. She’s going to wish Trump was in office.
Everything about this is mis-information. Not 2 years,9. Trump had nothing to do with this. Biden has no clue.
“Griner is currently serving a two-year sentence in a Russian prison after being convicted of assault following a brawl at a nightclub in Moscow.”
“Brittney Griner, a world-renowned basketball player with two Olympic gold medals, was sentenced to nine years in a Russian penal colony after being caught trying to smuggle illegal drugs into the country.”
So which is it? And she was arrested in 2022. How is that Trump’s fault?
i dont get it you hate americal then your begging the president that hates the american way then your blaming people that dont have anything to do with it, it makes no sense at all leave her disrespectful a.. there and send her wifey there so he wont go crazy locked up this is so fn old she is a human being locked up like an animal for her/his mistake karma is real keep hating america and stop asking for help from a country you hate hypocrite
Its always all Trump’s fault…My question is, isn’t she a cis-he who is gender changing? Look at that big Adam’s apple in her, it’s neck.
Huh what happened to the drugs she carried into the country how come it is all changed to a bar brawl hmm I’m confused and she was charged on Bidens watch why would Trump be able to help her
She’s right where she belongs, do the crime, do the time. Wah, wah, wah.
