WNBA star Brittney Griner has plead guilty to smuggling drugs into Russia. Now she awaits a reaction from Russian officials as she sits in a Russian prison.
Russian authorities say they found cannabis oil containers in Griner’s luggage during an airport security check.
Griner has been jailed since February. She says she accidentally packed the cannabis in her suitcase.
She faces a 10 year prison sentence. Griner is due back in court next week. The White House insisted again today that President Biden is committed to getting all Americans home from overseas detention.
