Last March 29, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was on assignment in Russia when he was arrested by security forces and accused of being a spy, a charge vigorously denied by Gershkovich, the paper, and the U.S. government. “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl talks with Gershkovich’s sister, Danielle; with Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief Emma Tucker; and U.S. Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens about the ongoing negotiations to bring Gershkovich home.
