“We are told she’s doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One.
“We are told she’s doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances,” Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a tweet Thursday that embassy officials “saw firsthand her tenacity and perseverance despite her present circumstances.” Embassy officials were able to speak by phone with Griner on October 18 and another detained American, Paul Whelan, on October 31.
“I can also tell you that in the subsequent weeks despite a lack of good faith negotiation by the Russians, the US government has continued to follow up on that offer and propose alternative potential ways forward with Russians through all available channels,” she said. “This continues to be a top priority.” Whelan was detained in December 2018 and sentenced to 16 years in prison on espionage charges in June 2020.
