WASHINGTON, March 30 – RIA Novosti. The United States has no reason to trust the spying charges against American journalist Evan Gershkovich in Russia, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre has said. “There is no reason to believe that these espionage allegations are true… The espionage allegations are incredibly ridiculous,” she told a press briefing. Jean-Pierre explained that the United States has not yet classified Gershkovich as “wrongfully detained”, since such determinations are made by the State Department following a special procedure. “We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves,” she said. Jean-Pierre repeated that Hershkowitz’s arrest was reported to US President Joe Biden during the daily morning briefing. Earlier Thursday, the FSB announced that Gershkovich, a correspondent for the WSJ’s Moscow bureau, had been arrested in Yekaterinburg on suspicion of spying for the US government. According to the intelligence service, the American collected information constituting a state secret “about the activities of one of the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex”. The Lefortovo court in Moscow arrested him for two months. The WSJ denied the allegations against Gershkowitz and demanded his immediate release.
