Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) announced Saturday that the Trump administration has secured the release of Joshua Holt, 26, from captivity in Venezuela after he was held there for almost two years.

Holt, a Mormon, flew to Venezuela to marry Thamy Holt, who he had met online.
Venezuela claimed Holt had weapons in his new wife’s family’s apartment. He and his wife have been held without a trial since 2016.
President Trump celebrated the development in some tweets Saturday as the newly released couple are expected to land in D.C. this evening.
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!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 26, 2018
Looking forward to seeing Joshua Holt this evening in the White House. The great people of Utah are Celebrating!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 26, 2018

As for Hatch, he has done much of NOTHING his entire Professional Political career...and at 83 his ship has sailed...He sounds as scrambled as Nancy Pelosi sounds...
Flake is a phony Flake...He quit with a 10% approval rating...he is worthless and his panties are in a twist...we just need to twist them a bit tighter...
and Corker? another millionaire is taking credit AND HE IS QUITING THE CONGRESS ALSO.....smh...
THE CREDIT BELONGS TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES...PERIOD...
That means to some he is a walking bag of money and to others he is free floating political points to be grabbed.
Ok, but you never answered my original question.
WHY WAS HE IN JAIL TO BEGIN WITH?
And being a "bottom" for Reggie "Shove" Love...
Partially joking - my wife is the best...
It was in the article! He supposedly had illegal weapons in his wife’s family home.
A President that cares about its citizens overseas....
