Brittney Griner finally homeward bound

WNBA superstar Brittney Griner, who's been detained in Russia since February, was freed today after a prisoner swap and will soon be back in the arms of her loved ones. However, another American held in Russia, Paul Whelan, remains captive. In an exclusive interview from his jail cell he tells CNN, "I don't understand why I'm still sitting here."  Also on today's show: A bill to protect same-sex marriage heads to the president's desk. It's likely the last big act of Nancy Pelosi's speakership and a reminder that Democratic priorities face a very different fate when Republicans take the House next month.  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
