‘It seems like the only person who can do this is President Trump’. The wife of Taliban detainee Ryan Corbett has announced her decision to show up unannounced to President-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home to forcibly demand his help in securing her husband’s release.

Top U.S. hostage envoy, Roger Carstens, was reportedly in Doha, Qatar, in recent days to present the new offer to the Taliban, the network reported citing a source close to the negotiations. In her most recent video, where Anna is seen packing her things for the trip, she says “For 882 days, I have begged the Biden administration to bring him home alive.
“They have not delivered. “We just celebrated Christmas without him and he has missed so many firsts in my children’s lives. He’s the heartbeat of our family and has left a huge gaping hole. Anna revealed that she had just received a text that “President Trump has been briefed about the failed Biden administration prisoner swap.”.
“It seems like the only person who can do this is President Trump.”. A press spokesperson advised that Anna was unable to comment while she travels to Mar A Lago – a decision she had no other choice to make after having 16 unsuccessful trips to Washington D.C. over two and a half years to attempt to talk with President Joe Biden about instigating Ryan’s release.
This time, she hopes things will be different with the newly-elected Republican nominee. The Biden administration reportedly began the negotiations in July to discuss the exchange of the trio for Muhammad Rahim al-Afghani, a high-profile prisoner alleged to be an Osama bin Laden associate held in Guantanamo Bay since 2008.
