Brittney Griner writes open letter to White House when she asks President Biden to help get her home


It’s been months since the WNBA star Brittney Griner was detained in Russia after she allegedly had vape cartridges with hash oil in her luggage. Her trial in Russia began last week and she has now sent a letter to the White House asking President Biden for help in bringing her home.

TJ Quinn’s ESPN shared an excerpt from her letter where she talks about freedom and what it means to her. In the letter, Brittney said,

“On July 4th, our family often honors the service of the men who fought for our freedom, including my father who was a Vietnam Veteran. It doesn’t hurt for me to think about how often I celebrate this day because freedom means completely different things to me this year. “

She continued to say,

“I realize that you are dealing with a lot, but please don’t forget about me and the other detainees. Do all you can to get us home. I voted for the first time in 2020 and I voted for you. I trust you. I still have a lot of work to do with my freedom that you can help restore. I miss my wife! I remember my family! I miss my teammates! I kill myself knowing they are suffering so much right now. I am grateful for anything you can do at this time to bring me home.”

ESPN shared that a representative for Brittney said it would not release the full letter or share how her letter was delivered from Russia to the White House. She is expected to appear in court again on Thursday (July 7). She has yet to enter a plea.

Like before reported, Brittney’s wife Cherelle Griner spoke out about her detention in an interview with Robin Roberts in May and also shared that she wanted to talk to Biden about bringing Brittney home. At the time, she said, “I keep hearing that he has strength. She’s a political pawn so if they keep her because they want you to do something, then I want you to do it.”

Brittney has been detained in Russia since late February.
