WNBA star Brittney Griner has been freed in a prisoner exchange with Russia.

According to multiple reports, the Biden administration negotiated a trade for Griner’s release, which took place in the United Arab Emirates, in exchange for “Merchant of Death” Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.

Prosecutors focused on his time supplying weapons to FARC, per CNN. “Viktor Bout has been international arms trafficking enemy number one for many years, arming some of the most violent conflicts around the globe,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said at the time. “He was finally brought to justice in an American court for agreeing to provide a staggering number of military-grade weapons to an avowed terrorist organization committed to killing Americans.”

Interesting coincidence.
