WASHINGTON — A phone call between jailed WNBA star Brittney Griner and her wife is being rescheduled after an earlier attempt to connect on the couple’s anniversary failed because of an “unfortunate mistake,” Biden administration officials said Tuesday.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that the State Department was working to arrange a new call but did not say when that would be. State Department spokesman Ned Price said the call could not be completed because of a “logistical error” that officials have worked quickly to fix so that a new call can take place., the couple’s fourth anniversary, for the first time since her arrest in Russia in mid-February.

Cherelle Griner told The Associated Press on Monday that no call ever came. She said she later learned that her wife had tried 11 times to call her through the embassy by dialing a number that she had been given, but that no one picked up because that particular desk was unstaffed on Saturday. Price said Tuesday that the problem was compounded by staffing limitations at the embassy, including technicians that are located in a third country because of Russian government restrictions placed on the embassy and its operations.

I really want to feel bad for her but I can't she put herself in this situation with knowledge of everything going on over there sometimes you just have to let people figure out there on mess I don't agree with the inhumane treatment but this should be a wake up call for her

Breaking news- I called my wife and she didn’t answer, so I rescheduled and called her 5 minutes later

wow what a news breaking story. thank you for the info!

Even less believable when you read “unfortunate mistake” in a thick Russian accent
