U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Washington has offered a deal to Russia aimed at bringing home WNBA star Brittney Griner, reported Yahoo News.
Griner was arrested on drug-related charges at a Moscow airport last February and testified on July 27. "I did not know how the cannabis oil ended up in my bag but explained I had a doctor’s recommendation for it and had packed it in haste," Griner testified. She explained that she was pulled aside at the airport after inspectors found the cartridges, but that an interpreter translated only a fraction of what was being said during their questioning and that officials instructed her to sign documents without providing an explanation.
