Joe Biden met with the wife of Brittney Griner on Friday at the White House, marking the first time the president has had a face-to-face conversation with the WNBA star’s family since she was detained in Russia on drug charges in February.
Griner was found guilty of smuggling illegal narcotics into Russia last month, with the judge sentencing the basketball player to nine years in prison and issued a fine of 1 million rubles, or about 16,300, for bringing vape cartridges with cannabis oil in her luggage when entering the country.
