Trump puts FBI at "complete disposal" of authorities searching for Savannah Guthrie's mom

FBI to Assist in Hunt for Missing NBC News Anchor's Mom, President Trump Directs Agency to Collaborate with Local Law Enforcement.

In a surprise move, President Donald Trump has given the FBI near-total authority over the search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" host Savannah Guthrie, who was reported missing in Arizona. The elderly woman was last seen at her home outside Tucson on Saturday night, and her family believes she may have been taken due to signs of forced entry.

Trump made the request via Truth Social, stating that he is directing all federal law enforcement agencies to be at "the complete disposal" of local authorities, who are leading the search. This means the FBI will have free rein to pursue leads and coordinate efforts without interference from other government agencies or local officials.

FBI Director Kash Patel was dispatched to Tucson on Wednesday to oversee the operation, which has been intensified after a ransom note was reportedly sent to Pima County authorities. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings appeared in a video plea for the safe return of their mother, warning potential kidnappers that they would do everything in their power to get information from them without being manipulated.

While no suspects have yet been identified, local law enforcement officials say they are taking all leads seriously. The Pima County Sheriff's Office is urging anyone with information about Nancy Guthrie's disappearance to come forward.
 
I'm thinking this is a super weird move by President Trump... like, what's the point of having total control over an investigation? Is he trying to show off or something? πŸ€”

I feel bad for Savannah and her fam, though - they're already going through so much with her mom being missing. It's not easy to deal with a disappearance, especially when it feels like someone might have taken her.

I wonder if the FBI is ready for this kind of thing... I mean, they've dealt with some tough cases before, but this one seems kinda different. Like, how are they going to balance their own investigation with all the help from the locals? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Also, that video plea by Savannah and her siblings was really emotional - you could feel the desperation in there. I hope they get some answers soon... it's been days already, and I'm sure everyone is getting pretty anxious. πŸ•°οΈ
 
🚨 just saw this news and gotta say, Trump's decision to let the FBI take the reins on this one seems kinda shady πŸ€” especially considering how quickly he jumped into action after that ransom note was sent. it's like he's trying to cover his own tracks or something... shouldn't be so suspicious, though - hope they find Nancy Guthrie ASAP πŸ’•
 
πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ Something's off here... President Trump giving the FBI a free hand on this one? πŸ€” Shouldn't they be coordinating efforts with local authorities, not stepping in like they're the only ones who can crack it? πŸ’Ό The fact that there was a ransom note sent to Pima County authorities is already shady. What if this is just a PR stunt to boost Trump's agenda? πŸ“° We need more information before we can start judging the motives behind this...
 
πŸ€” I'm not sure why the FBI needs a free rein over this case... seems like it's just a concerned family looking for their mom πŸ™. I mean, I get that the media attention and public interest are high, but do we really need the full force of the FBI on this? Plus, what about accountability? What happens if they mess up or don't find her? The local cops seem like they've got this under control πŸ’ͺ. And let's be real, it's not like the mom's disappearance is a national security threat πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ... still, I guess when you're 84 and get taken from your home, that's gotta be a priority for whoever's searching for her πŸ‘΅
 
I'm so worried about poor Savannah and her fam πŸ€•. I just cant imagine what she must be going thru right now. This whole thing is just so sad πŸ˜”. It's good that the FBI is on board tho, hope they can help find her mom soon πŸ’•. But you know, it makes me think - all these years we've been hearing about Trump doing whatever he wants, and now its like he's directing the FBI to do his thing? 🀝 Not sure if thats a good or bad thing in this case tho... πŸ€”. Anyway, lets just hope Nancy Guthrie is found safe and sound soon πŸ’«
 
this is wild 🀯 i mean, i've heard of presidents using the FBI for big cases but not a missing person's mom... what's next? πŸ˜‚ does this mean trump thinks the fbi is really good at solving family drama? or is he just trying to show off his 'helping hand' skills again? πŸ’ͺ either way, my heart goes out to savannah and her siblings - hope they get their mom back safe and sound ❀️
 
I'm thinking of this situation like a puzzle πŸ€”

The FBI's involvement might be a good thing, but we gotta make sure they're not stepping on the local police toes 🚨. The family is trying to keep it in the community, and I think that's what matters most.

It's also weird that Savannah's siblings are making videos to try and get info from potential kidnappers...like, isn't that just gonna put them in danger? πŸ˜• Maybe they should focus on spreading awareness instead?

Anyway, let's hope Nancy Guthrie is found soon πŸ™. I'm sending positive vibes out to the family 🌈
 
this is getting crazy 🀯 i mean i feel for savannah and her fam, but what's up with trump just swooping in like this? isn't that a bit much? i get that the family wants help finding their mom, but does it have to go through trump's personal connections? seems kinda convenient to me πŸ˜’
 
Ugh, I'm so over the FBI getting involved in this case πŸ™„. Can't they just leave it up to the local authorities already? I mean, I get that they're trying to help, but do they really need to be breathing down everyone's neck? It's like they think they're the only ones who can handle a missing person's case.

And what's with all these surprise moves from Trump? Can't he just communicate clearly and honestly for once? "Near-total authority" sounds like some kind of veiled threat to me πŸ€”. And why is Kash Patel getting dispatched to Tucson out of nowhere? It feels like they're just trying to make a big show about how much they care.

I'm not saying the local authorities aren't doing their best, but do we really need the FBI swooping in and taking over? It's all just creating more drama and attention-seeking moments for the sake of Twitter πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. Let's just hope Nancy Guthrie is found safe and sound soon...
 
man this guy trump is crazy 🀯 like what's next? giving the fbi a green light to just do whatever without any checks and balances? that's not how it works at all... anyway, hope nancy guthrie is found safe tho her family sounds really worried about her 🀞
 
I'm literally torn about this whole thing πŸ˜‚πŸ€―... on one hand, it's super concerning that someone's mom went missing and the family thinks something shady happened 🚨, so I get why they'd want some extra help from the FBI... but at the same time, isn't giving them total authority kinda too much? πŸ€” I mean, what if the FBI gets a little too carried away or starts messing with the investigation? πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ And don't even get me started on this whole "no interference" thing... that just sounds like a recipe for disaster πŸ’₯. But at the same time, if it means finding Nancy Guthrie and keeping her safe, then I'm all for it 🌟. Ugh, my brain is literally flipping between all these different opinions right now 😩.
 
So the FBI is helping look for this lady who went missing in Arizona? I guess it's good that President Trump is stepping in and giving them free rein to investigate. But doesn't that mean they have more power than local police? Like, what if someone gets hurt or something while they're searching?

I don't really get why the president would want to get involved in this at all. Is she some kind of celebrity or something? I mean, I've heard of Savannah Guthrie being on TV and stuff, but her mom is just a regular person... right? Anyway, hope they find out what happened to her soon!
 
I don't know what's going on here... πŸ€” So the President of the US just tells the FBI to take over a local case? That's a pretty big move, and I'm not sure if it's necessary. I mean, I've seen some weird stuff in my online days, but this is taking it to a whole new level. Why can't they just work with the local police like they usually do? And what's with all these ransom notes? It sounds like a bad episode of Law & Order. πŸš”

And have you noticed that everyone's still talking about Savannah Guthrie's mom, but what about her dad? Shouldn't he be getting some attention too? I know it's just human nature to worry about the missing mom, but come on, let's not forget about her dad! πŸ‘΅πŸ»

I'm also wondering if this whole thing is going to get blown out of proportion. Remember when everyone was talking about #MAGA and then... πŸ™ƒ Never mind, I don't want to jump to conclusions. I just think it's weird that the President is inserting himself into a local case like this. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
I'm so worried about this poor lady πŸ€•! It's just not right that her family has to go through this stress and uncertainty. I mean, back in my day... we wouldn't even think of the FBI getting involved in something like this without the local authorities asking for help first πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ.

But I guess times have changed, and President Trump is trying to show his support for Savannah's family. Still, it's a bit concerning that he's giving the FBI such free rein over the investigation... what if they're not used to working with local law enforcement? πŸ€”

I just hope Nancy Guthrie is found safe and sound soon! This whole situation is just so scary for her family, and I'm sending all my positive vibes their way ✨.
 
OMG 🀯 this is crazy!!! I'm shocked that the FBI is getting involved in this case, especially since it's a personal family matter. I get that President Trump wants to help, but like, shouldn't they be focusing on more serious crimes? It feels like his social media post came out of nowhere and now the entire agency is all over it πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. The fact that they're giving them near-total authority makes me a bit uneasy, hope no one gets hurt in the process 🀞
