Trump calls detained WNBA star Brittney Griner a 'potentially spoiled person' while criticizing proposed prisoner swap for Russian arms dealer
Former President Donald Trump criticized a proposed deal to swap WNBA player Brittney Griner for a Russian arms dealer, calling Griner a "potentially spoiled person."
The Biden administration has proposed trading Griner and detained former marine Paul Whelan for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who is serving a 25-year prison sentence.
Trump commented on Griner and the proposed deal during an interview on a radio show called "The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show."
"She went in there loaded up with drugs into a hostile territory where they're very vigilant about drugs. They don't like drugs," Trump said. "And she got caught. And now we're supposed to get her out – and she makes, you know, a lot of money, I guess – and we're supposed to get her out for an absolute killer and one of the biggest arms dealers in the world
