President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris tried Wednesday to “reassure” Cherelle Griner that the administration is working on getting her wife, WNBA star Brittney Griner, released from a Russian jail — a day after Cherelle said it was “very disheartening” that she hadn’t heard from the White House about efforts to free the hoopster.
Biden “offered his support to Cherelle and Brittney’s family, and he committed to ensuring they are provided with all possible assistance while his administration pursues every avenue to bring Brittney home,” the White House said in a readout of the conversation.
Noting that Brittney Griner is being held “under intolerable circumstances,” the president also read Cherelle Griner a draft of a letter he intends to send to Brittney.
“This has been top of mind for the president, and he receives daily updates about the status of her negotiations to secure Brittney’s release,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to a Biden event in Ohio on Wednesday.

Uh oh, POSotus is on it, expect her to be hanged any day now.
There are approximately 800 AMERICAN CITIZENS being held by the Federal Government in at least as bad conditions.
Where’s the fooking outrage about this?
First, release the January 6th POWs
Brittney openly despises America and has morally forfeited any entitlement to treatment as an American citizen.
Play stupid games ...
As if this virtue signaling is more important than the murder crisis and the thousands of lives lost, and the tens of thousand s of lives lost due to drugs coming across and the skyrocketing inflation and energy costs, and the ever growing rampant crime in America.
Stuck in Russia. Gee, that’s too bad.
We are keyboarding it right now.
How many KGB will they have to trade for one LBG?
There should be no trades.
These idiots forget the most important things when traveling to a foreign country. Firstly, it’s their country not yours. Secondly, you are a guest.
If we could only get the invaders crossing the southern border to understamd that.
Wait until she see’s how much is going to cost her to buy her way out. Probably in the $10’s of millions.
Potato Joe has less than zero favor with Pooty poot about now....you're screwed, booed and tattooed, dude.
First, shouldn’t “wife” have quotes around it? And, second, let her rot in jail. Maybe the “wife” can move to Russia so she can visit and support her perverted “wife”.
She will continue to languish in jail as long as Biden remains in office. She will languish in jail as long as Russian athletes are banned from international competitions.
I have little empathy for Griner. Obama would have already negotiated for her release. If Trump were president she would already be home. Biden admin won’t do a damn thing.
Why should this drug smuggler get different treatment? Russians will publicly ask the same thing.
The Russians would earn much goodwill if they offered to trade her for some January 6 political prisoners in DC.
I'd bet this letter is a hoot! He probably whines on about his lost son, Beau.
