Washington D.C. – WSBTV, September 14, 2024
Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne learned that George Glezmann’s wife and two other key players met at the White House this week.
George Taylor, a family advisor, said they met with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and his staff, alongside Dennis Fitzpatrick, the family’s pro bono attorney, and Glezmann’s wife.
“We have something now that we didn’t have before,” Taylor said. “That is a glass now that is halfway full of hope.”
Taylor described Wednesday’s meeting as positive and indicated that after meeting with Sullivan, he feels more secure in his conviction that Glezmann can be brought home from Kabul, Afghanistan.
Glezmann has been held there since December 2022.
According to Taylor, Glezmann is an innocent tourist who was wrongfully detained by the Taliban while exploring different cultures.
“It was a frank discussion on both sides,” Taylor said. “We were reassured by Mr. Sullivan that the president had been personally briefed by him regarding George and others in captivity in Afghanistan.”
