'I KNOW PUTIN TOO WELL': Dennis Rodman plans to go to Russia to get Brittney Griner released

Dennis Rodman is ready to fight for Brittney Griner’s freedom.

The former NBA star is planning to head to Russia and seek the release of the WNBA player, who was sentenced to nine years in prison by a Russian court on drug charges earlier this month.

“I got permission to go to Russia to help that girl,” Rodman told NBC News. “I’m trying to go this week.”

He added: “I know Putin too well.”

However, the White House isn’t exactly keen on Rodman’s heroic attempts, with one government official telling the outlet he will likely do more harm than good.

“It’s public information that the administration has made a significant offer to the Russians and anything other than negotiating further through the established channel is likely to complicate and hinder release efforts,” the official said.
