Part 4/8:
Amid these difficulties, Anna highlighted a striking difference in responses from the outgoing and incoming administrations. Following the revelation of a potential deal involving the exchange of hostages, she received notable support from President-Elect Donald Trump's team. While camping outside the Capitol, she unexpectedly met with Mike Waltz, Trump’s incoming National Security Adviser. This meeting stood in sharp contrast to the year-and-a-half struggle to engage with current officials, showcasing an urgency and concern from the Trump administration that Anna feels has been lacking in recent months.
