Brittney Griner, the basketball star who was detained in Russia for nearly 10 months last year, said America must do "everything in our power" to bring home a Wall Street Journal reporter who Moscow is accusing of espionage.
Evan Gershkovich was reporting in Yekaterinburg when he was detained Wednesday on charges the Biden administration called "ridiculous." Gershkovich, the American son of Soviet immigrants, joined the Wall Street Journal's staff last year but has lived in Moscow since 2017 working for various news outlets.
