Griner Drugs Trial: Closing Arguments Due

American basketball star Brittney Griner will hear closing arguments in her drugs trial Thursday, after which she could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

The Kremlin has urged discretion in negotiations for a possible prisoner trade also involving Paul Whelan in exchange for Viktor Bout after US Sec State Anthony Blinken claimed a “substantial offer” had been made.

Griner pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis oils which she was reportedly prescribed for medical purposes in the US. "I still don't understand to this day how they ended up in my bag… If I had to guess on how they ended up in my bags, I was in a rush packing."
