President Biden announced WNBA star Brittney Griner was released from a Russian prison. Back in February, Griner was arrested on drug charges at a Russian airport after she packed cannabis oil in her luggage. Griner was freed in a prisoner exchange for Viktor Bout, the notorious Russian arms dealer known as the “Merchant of Death.” Bout was serving a 25-year sentence in the U.S. The prisoner swap took place at Abu Dhabi airport in the United Arab Emirates.
