"There is no greater success than for a wrongful detainee to be freed and for them to go home," he said in a statement.
"The Biden Administration made the right decision to bring Ms. Griner home, and to make the deal that was possible, rather than waiting for one that wasn't going to happen."
The U.S. told the Whelan family ahead of time, which allowed them to "mentally prepare for what is now a public disappointment."
"It is important to me that it is clear that we do not begrudge Ms. Griner her freedom.
As I have often remarked, Brittney's and Paul's cases were never really intertwined."
