Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich being designated by the U.S. as "unlawfully detained" by Russia marks a significant development in his case.
The office's special envoy Roger Carstens said the administration was in a "full-court press" Wednesday during an interview with CBS News.
"Senior members of the U.S. government, including Secretary [of State Antony] Blinken, have met with their counterparts in Russia to try to press them to release Evan and to gain more information," he said. "We've also been trying to gain consular access to him and have yet to have any luck in that."
