New details about Brittney Griner’s journey home

A new photo shows Griner’s first moments of freedom, posing with her wife Cherelle and U.S. ambassador Roger Carstens. Carstens says Griner thanked everyone on the plane as soon as she boarded. The exchange of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for her release continues to face criticism from some Republicans. The White House says any risk Bout’s release might pose is “manageable.”
