Our message to Evan and to Paul is this: Keep the faith. The team continues to work on these cases every day from all angles. The President has been very clear that we have no higher priority than securing the release of Evan, Paul Whelan, and all Americans wrongfully detained abroad. And he is being held by Russia for leverage because he is an American. He was arrested in Russia during the course of simply doing his job as a journalist. The world knows that the charges against Evan are baseless. So I want to acknowledge that today marks 100 days since Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained by Russian authorities. Okay, I just have one thing at the top, and then I’ll turn it over to our guest.
