Venezuela frees ‘spy’

JOSHUA Holt, who travelled to Venezuela from Utah in 2016 to marry a Spanishspeaking Mormon woman but found himself jailed and branded a top CIA spy, was set free by the anti-American Maduro Government on Saturday, saying he was “overwhelmed with gratitude”.

Holt and his wife, Thamara Caleno, arrived Saturday evening in Washington for a tearful reunion with his parents, Laurie and Jason Holt. A few hours later President Donald Trump welcomed them to the White House.
