在10月25日国务院新闻发布会的开场中，发言人内德·普赖斯的评论要点摘录如下:
普赖斯先生：大家下午好。正如你们从国务卿和国家安全顾问那里听到的那样，今天是俄罗斯“正义”又一个悲伤的日子。我们对“正义”一词的使用很宽泛，因为这个案件没有正义。这个案件没有法治。简单地说，这个过程一直是一个骗局。
驳回布兰妮·格里纳(Brittney Griner)的上诉是对正义的又一次否定，这只会加重她被拘押的原本的不公正。俄罗斯错误地拘押了布兰妮·格里纳和美国公民保罗·惠兰（Paul Whelan）。关于布兰妮的定罪或今天对这一上诉的驳回都没有改变这一点。
布林肯国务卿和拜登总统一直明确表示，他们应该被释放。这就是为什么今年夏天，布林肯国务卿来到这间房间，谈论我们向俄罗斯提出的释放布兰妮和保罗的实质性建议。我们相信，俄罗斯应该认真和真诚地参与这项提议，我们已继续敦促莫斯科这样做，包括在最近几天。
国务院最优先考虑的是在俄罗斯和世界其他地区被拘押的所有美国公民的福祉、公平待遇和正义。
在包括布兰妮和保罗在内的所有被错误拘押的美国人与他们的亲友团聚之前，我们不会懈怠。

此次新闻发布会全文：
U.S. State Department Spokesperson Ned Price says…
At the top of the October 25 Department of State Press Briefing, Spokesperson Ned Price comments included the following excerpted points…
MR PRICE: Good afternoon, everyone. As you heard from the Secretary and from the National Security Advisor, today is another sad day for “justice” in Russia. And we use that term “justice” loosely because there has been no justice in this case. There has been no rule of law in this case. This process, to put it simply, has been a sham.
The denial of Brittney Griner’s appeal is another repudiation of justice, which only compounds the original injustice of her detention. Russia is wrongfully detaining Brittney Griner and fellow U.S. citizen Paul Whelan. Nothing about Brittney’s conviction or the denial of this appeal today changes that.
Secretary Blinken and President Biden have been clear that they should be released. That’s why this summer, Secretary Blinken came to this very room to speak about the substantial proposal we made to Russia for the release of Brittney and Paul. We believe Russia should engage seriously and in good faith on this proposal, and we have continued to urge Moscow to do so, including in recent days.
The department has no higher priority than the wellbeing, the fair treatment, and justice for all of our citizens detained in Russia and in other parts of the world.
We will not relent until all wrongfully detained Americans, including Brittney and Paul, are reunited with their loved ones.
