Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) star Brittney Griner and her wife, Cherelle have been invited to the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner on Saturday.
Griner was detained in Russia for nearly 10 months after being arrested in early 2022 and was released for a swap with international arms dealer Victor Bout.
From The Hill:
Griner joins a star-studded CBS guest list. Other WHCA dinner attendees coming courtesy of CBS News include: Justin Hartley, Sofia Pernas, Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn, Julia Fox, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, BD Wong, Rosario Dawson, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), and Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) CBS News’s “The After Party” at the French ambassador’s residence is also shaping up to be one of the hottest post-WHCA dinner tickets, with all of the news outlet’s VIPs expected to be there.
