bryan llenas has an in depth look at joshua's story. we begin with ellison barber with the latest from the white house. the president recently celebrated the arrival of three hostages released from north korea. what do we know about how this release went down? >> not a whole lot of details just yet. the latest bit of information we have is coming from a congresswoman's twitter account. she tweeted a few minutes ago that holt is back on u.s. soil and his plane has officially landed. the white house really didn't say anything about this. the first sense we had that this was even happening was when the president tweeted about it early this morning. holt and his wife boarded the plane and left venezuela earlier this morning and tennessee senator corker was on the plane with them. he is the chair of the senate foreign relations committee. he met with venezuelan president maduro on friday and reportedly played a big role in securing the release of holt and his wife. holt traveled to venezuela about two years ago to marry a venezuelan woman. t

. >> we have a chance to see release of an american, joshua holt, held for two years, venezuelan prison. handed over high level talks between the president and u.s. lawmakers. what does president trump gain by bringing an american like him home. >> president trump campaigned on the idea of bringing home americans, who are held prisoner or hostage abroad. and he so he is not getting credit for it. he said yesterday in the oval office, we know in this particular case of joshua halt, that it was a surprising positive development to have this release occur in a week when otherwise a tough one between the u.s. and venezuela. the administration tight end sanctions, really condemned their election calling it a false election, that elected moduro to yet another term. this back channel, that u.s. lawmakers carried out, with the trump administration's blessing, is perhaps a sign of hope in the words of senator bob corker, there may be people that president trump can deal with. but hard-liners like marco rubio on face the nation say this is not enough. the prisoner shouldn't have been taken. >> ma

and that just coming to us, again, as i mentioned, within the last 24 hours, joshua holt, a utah man in caracas. we understand senator corker was down there. something good for utah, including senator orrin hatch. >> yes. i mean this is the culmination of a two-year process of trying to negotiate the release of joshua holt, an american who went to venezuela to marry someone who he met on line. or as senator orrin hatch gave thanks to the trump administration and the obama administration for this, but at the same time, this is venezuela, a country whose recent elections were denounced as a sham by the united states, a country where there are hundreds of political prisoners. while this is a joyous occasion for joshua holt and his family, it's also a careful diplomatic walk that the united states has to make and not being -- in the praise. >> the president's clearly saying look what we were able to do and we will be watching it later here when joshua holt does land in the united states. what we guess to be around 7:00 p.m. eastern. we'll be covering that here. kimberly atkins, covering
