President Donald Trump hinted Friday that federal involvement in the investigation Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance would soon yield new developments in the case.
“We have some things, I think that will maybe come out reasonably soon, from DOJ [Department of Justice] or FBI [Federal Bureau of Investigation], or whoever, that could be, could be definitive,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, according to CNN.
He continued, “A lot has taken place in the last couple of hours. A lot of things have happened with regard to that horrible situation in the last couple of hours.”
Earlier this week the president wrote on Truth Social that he is “deploying all resources” to find Today anchor Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, who disappeared from her home sometime between Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
Asked about the federal support, Trump said, “I think we’re doing very well on that regard,” adding, “Very well meaning we have some clues, I think that are very strong, and I think we could have some answers coming up.”
Trump did not elaborate further.
The involvement of federal investigators in case originally handled by the Pima County Sheriff’s office ramped up at the end of the week as a new note arrived at CBS local affiliate KOLD about Guthrie, which the FBI was examining for its authenticity.
