http://dailycaller.com/2018/05/26/president-trump-release-american-hostage-venezuela/President Donald Trump announced Saturday that his administration has secured the release of 26-year-old Joshua Holt, a Utah native who has been held in a Venezuelan prison for two years without a trial.
Good news about the release of the American hostage from Venezuela. Should be landing in D.C. this evening and be in the White House, with his family, at about 7:00 P.M. The great people of Utah will be very happy!

Holt arrived in Venezuela in 2016 to marry a woman he met online, and he was thrown in jail just days after he arrived. His wife, Thamy, after being asked to provide their marriage license, was arrested as his accomplice.
