Cherelle Griner, the wife of Brittney Griner, expressed “sincere gratitude” to President Biden and other administration officials, including Vice President Harris and national security adviser Jack Sullivan, as she spoke at the White House after Biden announced the release from Russia of the WNBA star.
Cherelle Griner said that while Thursday is a day of celebration for her, she and Brittney Griner would like to see the return of other detained Americans.
“B.G. is not here to say this, but I will gladly speak on her behalf and say that B.G. and I will remain committed to the work of getting every American home, including Paul [Whelan], whose family is in our hearts today. … We do understand that there are still people out here who are enduring what I endured the last nine months of missing tremendously their loved ones.”
