“Last August, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was freed by Russian authorities in a prisoner exchange with the United States. Russian national-security state officials had arrested Gershkovich on March 29, 2023, on charges of espionage on behalf of the CIA. In a secret trial, he was found guilty and later sentenced to 16 years in prison. … Since the time of Gershovich’s arrest, both the Journal and U.S. officials have fiercely denied that Geshkovich was a spy. That’s probably true but the problem is that their denials are rather worthless because if he was a spy, they would deny it anyway.” (01/14/25)
