"I did that. I did that. I did that with one phone call, actually, he said. And she had such support, it was so easy. And when I explained it to the powers that be: Yes, sir, we will do it right away.' Ibrahim was released in 2014, during the Obama administration, wrote Dale on Friday, crediting Religion News Service's Jack Jenkins for first raising doubts about the president's story."
"When Ibrahim met Trump at the White House in 2019, at an event with fellow survivors of religious persecution, he did not publicly display familiarity with the case or tell the story about how he had supposedly singlehandedly secured her release, he continued."
President Trump claimed at the National Prayer Breakfast that he freed persecuted Christian Mariam Ibrahim from a Sudanese prison with one phone call. Mariam Ibrahim was imprisoned and sentenced to death in 2014 over her faith and was released later in 2014 during the Obama administration after international pressure. There is no evidence that a private U.S. citizen, including a businessman or celebrity at the time, convinced Sudanese authorities to free her. When Ibrahim met Trump at the White House in 2019, he did not show prior familiarity with her case and did not previously claim responsibility for her release.
