The wife of WNBA star and Texas native Brittney Griner released a video thanking President Joe Biden for his administration’s ongoing efforts to secure Griner’s release, seven months after she was arrested in Russia on drug charges.
The release of the video came as Griner spent her 32nd birthday in prison on Tuesday.
“I’ve felt every minute of the grueling seven months without her,” Griner’s wife, Cherelle Griner, said in the video. “I want to thank President Biden for the Administration’s efforts to secure her release. As my family and I continue on this journey, I’d like to thank our friends leaders and supporters who continue to stand with us and advocate for Brittney’s swift and safe return.”
