Summary

The Wall Street Journal's reporter Evan Gershkovich, currently jailed in Russia, faces his espionage trial today after being imprisoned for over a year. The United States declared Gershkovich wrongfully detained, despite Russia's claims that he was working as a spy and not a journalist. The Journal also rejects the espionage charge, calling it a bogus claim. Since Evan was first detained, the media organization has been urging for his safe return. Assistant Editor at The Wall Street Journal, Paul Beckett, joins to bring awareness to Evan's wrongful detention and its implications for all journalists. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been freed from prison in England after reaching a plea deal with the United States. The bargain ends a years-long saga in the United States seeking the extradition of Assange on espionage charges. Assange is set to appear in front of a United States' court in Saipan, where he will be sentenced to time served, and then travel back to his home country of Australia. FOX News contributor and former CIA Station Chief Dan Hoffman joins to discuss the crimes that Assange committed and the impact that Wikileaks had on the intelligence community and American national security at large. Plus, commentary by columnist David Marcus. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
