Supporters of Imran Khan, the imprisoned former prime minister, are now pinning their hopes on getting him freed however fanciful on the wild card among the three: the incoming administration of Donald J. Trump.
Mr. Grenell, who was ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence in the first Trump administration, was named last month by Mr. Trump as his envoy for special missions.
One of Mr. Grenell's posts about Mr. Khan, written two days after his appointment, garnered more than 12 million views.
Richard Grenell has repeatedly demanded Mr. Khan's release in messages on X, inspiring almost messianic certainty among Mr. Khan's followers that the once and future American president will help secure his freedom.
