"Silence and Outrage: The Wall Street Journal's Battle for Evan Gershkovich's Freedom"
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump has remained silent on Russia's detention of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who has been held for a year without formal charges or a trial. Trump's avoidance of criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin has drawn bipartisan condemnation, with even his campaign refusing to comment on the issue. In contrast, President Biden has vowed to continue efforts to secure Gershkovich's release, while slamming Trump for accommodating Putin and prioritizing his relationship with the Russian leader over the American people.
