Calls for Release of Jailed WSJ Reporter Highlight Putin's Brutality.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have jointly called for Russia to release Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was detained last week on allegations of spying, marking the first case of an American journalist arrested by Moscow since the Cold War. The leaders condemned the "wrongful detention" of the "internationally known and respected independent journalist" and demanded his immediate release.
