Brittney Griner’s Wife Says Biden Hasn’t Responded

July 5, 2022 at 11:06 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

The wife of Brittney Griner told CBS News that President Joe Biden still has not responded to the handwritten letter that the basketball star sent to him from a Russian prison.

Said Cherelle Griner: “I still have not heard from him. And honestly, it’s very disheartening.”

She added that U.S. officials “are not doing anything.”
