US journalist jailed by Russia met lawyers on Tuesday

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested and charged with espionage in Russia last week, met his lawyers on Tuesday, editor-in-chief Emma Tucker said in a message to the newspaper's staff.

"Evan's health is good, and he is grateful for the outpouring of support from around the world," she said in the letter, a copy of which was seen by Reuters.
