A reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Evan Gershkovich, was arrested Wednesday in the city of Yekaterinburg for allegedly investigating Russian military secrets for the US. It’s the first time an American journalist has been detained on espionage charges in Russia since the Cold War and a sign of escalating tensions between the rival countries as Russia’s war in Ukraine continues. The WSJ said it “vehemently denies the allegations,” and the White House also condemned Russia’s “targeting of American citizens.”

After years of investigations and probes into Donald Trump for a wide variety of alleged crimes, a Manhattan grand jury voted Thursday to indict him, according to reports, marking the first time in U.S. history a former president will face criminal charges.
The indictment has yet to be unsealed so the specifics of the charges weren’t immediately clear, but the Manhattan district attorney has alleged that Trump had broken the law for his role in a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels at the height of the 2016 presidential election to silence her story claiming they once had an affair. Despite years of various investigations, Trump had so far avoided prosecution.
