Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who spent over a year as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, is expected to go to Russia and participate in talks to bring Brittney Griner back to the United States, ABC News reports.
Richardson, the governor of New Mexico between 2003 and ’11, has over 40 years in politics, including a history of helping free wrongly-detained Americans in other nations. He will head to Russia on behalf of two Americans, Griner and former marine Paul Whelan, who has been stuck in Russia for over three years.
