Pressure Builds For Biden To Secure Release Of American Held Hostage By Taliban

An American captured by the Taliban a year after President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan in August of 2021 remains a hostage, and his family is growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of action from President Joe Biden as his health deteriorates. 

Ryan Corbett’s wife, Anna Corbett, has been fighting for his release, appearing before Congress and on major news networks to call on Biden and lawmakers to act. Since he was taken hostage, Corbett’s family has managed to secure nine brief video calls with him, and see that his condition is worsening.

His wife told The Daily Wire that the last call came this Sunday and says the call only “heightened” her concerns, learning that he has new health issues.
