President Joe Biden plans to meet at the White House on Friday with the families of WNBA star Brittney Griner and Michigan corporate security executive Paul Whelan, both of whom remain jailed in Russia.
Brittney Griner has made an appeal to President Joe Biden in a letter saying she feared she might never return home and asking that he not “ forget about me and the other American Detainees.”
The Seattle Storm are headed to the White House to celebrate their 2020 WNBA championship. The team was formally invited by President Joe Biden to visit on Monday afternoon.
