Former President Trump says WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich, who is being detained in Russia, will be released following the election later this year.
Former President Donald Trump predicted Thursday that detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich will be released by Russia 'almost immediately' following this year’s presidential election. In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump wrote 'Evan Gershkovich, the Reporter from The Wall Street Journal, who is being held by Russia, will be released almost immediately after the Election, but definitely before I assume Office. He will be HOME, SAFE, AND WITH HIS FAMILY.
He recently lost another appeal to end his pretrial detention and will remain behind bars until at least June. Trump made a similar claim regarding Gershkovich at the end of April. 'The reporter should be released, and he will be released,' Trump said during an interview with TIME. 'I don’t know if he’s going to be released under Biden. I would get him released.
