Hatch Calls On Trump Administration To Help Secure Release Of Holt

Utah's senior senator is urging the Trump Administration to increase their efforts to free Utahn Josh Holt from Venezuela.  Republican Senator Orrin Hatch said in a statement yesterday that the President, the Vice President and members of the State Department and U.N. delegations should redouble their efforts to free Holt.  Hatch has worked to obtain Holt's release since the Utah man was imprisoned in 2016 on charges he was plotting violence against the Venezuelan government.  Holt is suffering from various medical problems and has been denied treatment by the Venezuelan officials.
