Official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova accused US authorities of duplicity over White House statement on basketball player’s ‘unacceptable’ sentencing Britney Greiner against a backdrop of silence on the searches of former US President Donald Trump.
On August 4, Greiner was sentenced by the Khimki city court to 9 years in general prison in a drug trafficking case and fined 1 million rubles. An American athlete was arrested trying to smuggle hash oil through Sheremetyevo airport in February.
— The White House has called the Russian court’s decision in the case of American basketball player Brittney Griner “unacceptable”.
Let me remind you that Greiner was smuggling cartridges of smoking liquid containing hash oil. The basketball player herself admitted it, because there was no point in denying it.
At the same time, the White House refuses to comment on the investigation around Trump and the seizure of certain White House-related documents from him. Complete silence, although we are talking about American justice and law enforcement. “The president,” says Biden spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, “was out of the loop.”
On what basis are the statements of an American basketball player about the presence of illegal drugs in her possession being questioned by the White House, and an extraordinary event that raises questions in all States – searches of the private house of the previous head of state, seizure of documents allegedly related to the national security of the United States, right? — Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.
