Description
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says that US basketball star Brittney Griner pleading guilty to drug smuggling charges in a Russian court "will have no impact" on any of the negotiations to secure her release. When asked if the US would entertain a trade of detainees with Russia, Jean-Pierre tells reporters she won't lay out the exact steps negotiators are taking but adds that "we want to make sure that we do this safely."
