For the first time since the Cold War, a journalist has gone on trial in Russia for espionage. The Wall Street Journal’s Evan Gershkovich appeared in court accused of working on behalf of the CIA. The White House calls the trial a sham and the charges against Gershkovich fiction. Nick Schifrin discussed more with Angela Stent, author of “Putin’s World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest.”
