Dennis Rodman Reportedly Backs Out Of Brittney Griner Release Mission

Dennis Rodman will not be getting associated with the Brittney Griner case after all — the Hall of Famer has actually reportedly chosen not to take a trip to Russia … after the U.S. federal government highly encouraged versus his strategies.

Rodman declared previously today he had approval to go to Russia to attempt to get Griner — who was sentenced to 9 years in jail previously this month — back on U.S. soil … stating he understood president Vladimir Putin “too well.”

It’s obvious — Rodman is well-connected overseas … particularly with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un, so the ex-Bulls terrific was attempting to see just how much worldwide pull he truly had.

However, the folks at the White Home made it clear if the Worm prepared to go, he would not have D.C.’s true blessing … with State Department representative Ned Cost stating, “He would not be traveling on behalf of the U.S. government.”

In reality, the federal government felt Rodman’s participation may ruin the U.S.’s existing negotiations with Russia to get Griner out … so eventually, the hooper chose to take a rear seats.

Griner has actually lagged bars because she was arrested for having marijuana oil in her travel luggage at the airport. The U.S. has actually stayed determined she’s being wrongfully detained.
