US will bring detained journalist home from Russia, Biden assures family

Evan Gershkovich’s sister says family wants to see ‘more action’ to free Wall Street Journal reporter charged with spying

As the Wall Street Journal’s Evan Gershkovich prepared to spend his 32nd birthday on Thursday in a Moscow lockup, Joe Biden has assured the reporter’s family that the White House will ultimately get him back to the US from Russia, the journalist’s sister said.

Danielle Gershkovich remarked on Tuesday in an interview on Newsmax that the president “promised our family personally that he’s going to get Evan home”.
