BREAKING: Brittney Griner has been released by Russia in a prisoner swap for arms dealer Viktor Bout, U.S. official says.
Biden said the U.S. hasn't given up on Whelan and"we'll never give up" fighting to get him home.
Biden's authorization to release a Russian felon once nicknamed “the Merchant of Death" underscored the escalating pressure that his administration faced to get Griner home, particularly after the recent resolution of her criminal case and her subsequent transfer to a penal colony. WNBA star Brittney Griner was arrested and detained in Russia on Feb. 17. Here is a timeline of events that led to her arrest and what has happened since.
