Show Notes

A Russian judge finds Brittney Griner guilty of drug smuggling and sentences the WNBA superstar to nine years in Russian prison. The judge rules Griner acted deliberately when she tried to carry cannabis cartridges into the country. The stiff sentence adds urgency to a diplomatic stalemate between Moscow and Washington over a potential prisoner trade. CNN's Kylie Atwood, Jeremy Diamond, and Fred Pleitgen join John King to bring you the latest.
