WNBA star Brittney Griner is back in the U.S. at a Texas Army medical center for routine evaluation after spending almost ten months imprisoned in Russia. Griner was involved in a prison swap for convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout. Bill Richardson is a former UN Ambassador and New Mexico governor whose Richardson Center helped secure Griner’s release. He tells Anderson Cooper he commends the Biden administration for getting the basketball star home. Plus, Arizona Sen. Kirsten Simena is leaving the Democratic party and registering as an Independent.
