Brittney Griner pleads with Biden for help in letter from Russian jail

Excerpts from the letter addressed to Biden released on Monday reveal that Griner is"terrified" she will never be freed from Russian custody. The letter was given to the White House through the Phoenix Mercury player's representatives. Griner has been in Russian custody since Feb. 17 and is facing up to 10 years in prison on drug charges. It is unclear if Biden has read the letter.

“I realize you are dealing with so much, but please don’t forget about me and the other American detainees. Please do all you can to bring us home,” Griner asks the president in the letter.In another excerpt from her letter, Griner laments missing Fourth of July festivities with her family. The letter was delivered to the White House on Monday, according to Griner’s agent, Lindsay Kagawa Colas. Most of what the WNBA player wrote in the note to the president remains private.

Griner goes on to tell the president in the letter that she voted for him in 2020 and implores him to help restore her freedom.

He ain't going to go against Putin!

Thinking she was privileged and free to do anything she wanted, forgot she was in Russia. Now pleads for freedom of her home country that she hates so much.

Biden has alot to do. He must replace the head of the Central Bank. These are Trip and Bush guys, pro China. Save the girl. Arrest Trump. Get people disbarred or revoke ABA license.

Watch Trump tweet and get her out.

I’m guessing she now has time to re-think that whole take the knee I hate America program she was on. This story is such a feel good story!!

She has a better chance with Putin. 🇺🇸

Let her serve her time. She’s anti-American and we’ll now see if she changes her mind.

Yeah Sure

Why does she want to return to a racist, misogynist hellhole like the USA?

She publicly said she hates America .. let her rot in there ..

Take the knee

Вы сможете прочитать это к тому времени, как выйдете.

Oof, pinning your hopes on Biden 😬

I feel bad for her… however she is no more important than any other prisoner.

she should call trump he'll get her out
