A handwritten letter was delivered to the White House on Monday by the basketball player who has been held in Russia for over a year.
The excerpts of the letter were released by her representatives.
"As I sit in a Russian prison, alone with my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, family, friends, Olympic jersey, or any accomplishments, I'm terrified I might be here forever," the player wrote.
On the 4th of July our family usually honors the service of those who fought for our freedom including my father who is a Vietnam War Veteran. She said it hurts to think about how she usually celebrates this day.
When she was traveling through Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, officials accused her of having marijuana in her luggage, which she denied.
The Russian professional women's team where she is spending the WNBA off-season was where she was in the country.
Relations between the United States and other western countries have been badly damaged by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which followed the arrest of Griner.
On Friday, the trial started. She could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
In her letter, the player told Biden that she voted for him in the presidential election and asked him to help free other people who are in foreign countries.
Please don't forget about me and the other American prisoners, even though you are dealing with so much. If you can, please bring us home. I voted for you for the first time. I think you will do well. She said that she still has a lot of good to do with her freedom.
I miss my spouse. I don't have my family anymore. I don't like my teammates. I don't think it's right that they are suffering right now. She said she was grateful for anything you could do to get her home.
The basketball player has been forced into a small cage for hours on end each time she has to make an appearance in court according to her wife.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said last month that she was not being held "hostage," but did not give a time frame for her release.
He said that she is being prosecuted for violating Russian law. Being a hostage isn't what it's about. Many Americans are here. You have to obey the laws, but they are enjoying their freedom.
According to a statement from the National Security Council, the government was working to secure the freedom of the prisoner.
