The wife of WNBA star Brittney Griner begged President Joe Biden to help free her spouse from a Russian prison, where she’s been held since February.

Griner, the 6-foot, 9-inch superstar for the Phoenix Mercury, was allegedly caught at a Moscow airport with vape cartridges that contained hashish oil. She faces up to 10 years in prison under Russia’s strict anti-drug laws. On Wednesday, her wife, Cherelle Griner, appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” and beseeched Biden to intervene.
