Brittney Griner, who was detained in Russia for months, has expressed concern for Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested in that country last week.
The Griners called on supporters to encourage the administration to"use every tool possible to bring Evan and all wrongfully detained Americans home."
The Wall Street Journal said it denies the allegations and is seeking the immediate release of the 31-year-old journalist. On Friday, President Joe Biden urged Russia to"let him go." "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan on Sunday that they haven't be able to communicate with him, but said Secretary of State Antony Blinken's rare call to his Russian counterpart Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Sunday was"hugely reassuring.
For now, their hope is the the U.S. government moves"swiftly" to designate Gershkovich as wrongfully detained.
