EXCLUSIVE: Wife Of American Detained By Taliban Reveals What Biden Told Her In Long-Awaited Call
Biden told the wife of an American being held hostage by the Taliban, that he would not be brining her husband home, she shared in an interview with the Daily Caller.
Anna Corbett, the wife of Ryan Corbett, an American being held hostage by the Taliban, said that she doesnât believe President Joe Biden will bring her husband home in his final days in office, she shared in an interview with the Daily Caller.
The White House announced Sunday that Biden called the families of Ryan Corbett, George Glezmann and Mahmoud Habibi â the Americans detained by the Taliban since 2022 â to discuss the âgovernmentâs continuing efforts to reunite these three Americans with their families.â The wife of Ryan Corbett, Anna Corbett, told the Caller that the phone call, despite 16 prior trips to D.C., was the first time she and the president had spoken in the nearly two and a half years since her husband was taken hostage. During the 30 minute phone call, Biden expressed that they were unable to get a deal done and because of such, Ryan would not be coming home in the final days of his administration, Anna told the Caller.
âHe gave us about 30 minutes, I would say, on the call, and he was very gracious, but basically said he is not bringing Ryan home, and that was very disappointing to hear that we come this far,â Anna told the Caller.Â
âIt seems like the administration is haunted by Afghanistan, and there is a deal on the table. I donât have all the details, but it seems like there is a way to bring Ryan home, and itâs not being taken. So that just adds to the disappointment,â Anna told the Caller.Â
The White House National Security Council referred the Caller to its announcement on the call when asked if the president had told the families he was unable to bring their loved ones home. The read out of the call adds that Biden âemphasized his Administrationâs commitment to the cause of bringing home Americans held hostage and wrongfully detained overseas.â
âIâve taken 16 trips to DC and 885 days of wrongful detainment, climaxing to this point is just really tough, it was just really tough to hear,â Anna told the Caller of her conversation with Biden.
âI was hoping for an in-person meeting, which would have been so much easier and better and yeah, itâs just disappointing to only have a phone call,â she added.
On Friday, Anna Corbett dropped everything, packed her bags and spontaneously flew down to Palm Beach in an attempt to get a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump. Trump had revealed 12 hours earlier that he would be receiving a briefing on the Americans being held hostage by the Taliban and the report that the Biden administration has a deal on the table. The comment gave Anna hope, and at the time of publication she remains in Palm Beach trying to get a meeting with the president-elect.

Anna told the Caller that she has made progress since arriving in Palm Beach and has had some positive interactions with Trumpâs team since making the trip. Her congresswoman, New York Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney has also been âvery engagedâ in Annaâs trip and her efforts to get Corbett home, Anna told the Caller.
âIâm thankful that it looks like our family is being more prioritized than what Iâve experienced in the last almost two and a half years,â Anna told the Caller.
A U.S. citizen from upstate New York, Ryan Corbett and his family previously lived in Afghanistan from 2010 to 2021, according to a website dedicated to bringing him home. While in Afghanistan, Corbett was running local NGOs before starting a microloan and consulting business in the country.

After the Talibanâs takeover of the country, Corbett and his family fled but he eventually made the decision to go back to get his business visa renewed and visit his staff in January 2022. It was during his second visit using his business visa in August 2022 that Corbett was captured by the Taliban.
With about a week left in Bidenâs administration, the presidentâs team has been in talks with the Taliban about an agreement to bring the Americans home since at least July, and proposed in November that the group release three Americans in exchange for Muhammad Rahim al Afghani, an Afghan who the U.S. government claims was a high-ranking al Qaeda aide, sources told the WSJ.
The Taliban countered the Biden administrationâs deal the same day it was offered, according to the WSJ. In the counter, the Taliban proposed receiving Rahim and two others for Glezmann and Corbett but National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told the House Foreign Affairs Committee in December that Biden has yet to decide on the deal.
Anna revealed on X/Twitter that she spoke to her husband on Sunday and expressed to him her optimism for his release since being down in Palm Beach. Anna told the Caller that the current administration in conjunction with the Qataris have scheduled regular 10-15 minute phone calls with her husband. She last spoke to him on Christmas day.
âWe feel this big gap without Ryan in our family, and itâs not getting any easier. Maybe people think because we have this life thatâs the four of us, and Ryanâs kind of not part of it, it would be easier day by day, but it actually is harder, because we miss him so much, and we think about him all the time,â Anna told the Caller.
The Game revealed that he has been volunteering to assist the 'brave' firefighters and first responders as they currently battle the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

Lee Chae Min may be starring in a new romance drama alongside YoonA!
On January 13, a media outlet reported that Lee Chae Min is currently in talks to star in the upcoming tvN drama âThe Tyrantâs Chefâ (literal translation).
In response to the report, Lee Chae Min's agency GOLDMEDALIST confirmed, Lee Chae Min received an offer [to star in] 'The Tyrant's Chef' and is reviewing the offer positively.
âThe Tyrantâs Chefâ tells the story of a chef who, at the peak of her career, time travels to the past. There, she meets a king known as the worst tyrant, but also the ultimate gourmet. The drama will be directed by Jang Tae Yoo, who has previously helmed hit dramas such as âMy Love from the Star,â âLovers of the Red Sky,â and âKnight Flower.â
Previously, Girlsâ Generationâs YoonA was offered the role of the tyrantâs chef, while Park Sung Hoon was in talks to play the male lead. However, in late December, Park Sung Hoon was embroiled in a controversy that led to the decision to step down from the drama, despite multiple apologies from the actor and his agency.
After leaving a strong impression in tvN's hit drama Crash Course in Romance, Lee Chae Min landed the lead role in the Netflix original series Hierarchy. This year, he is also set to star as the main character in MBC's upcoming Friday-Saturday drama Bunny and the Boys.
Stay tuned for more updates!
