Trump Misses Racist Video Clip; Guard Members Get Purple Hearts

Two West Virginia National Guard members, Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, who were shot in an ambush-style attack near the White House late last year, will receive the Purple Heart, according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Hegseth made the announcement at a National Guard reenlistment ceremony at the Washington Monument on Friday.

The incident, which occurred on November 26, was described by Hegseth as "a terrible thing," adding that the troops were "attacked by a radical." The announcement was made in front of National Guard members.

In other news, authorities in Arizona are investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, as a possible kidnapping. Authorities are examining purported ransom notes sent to several media outlets, according to reports. The Pima County Sheriffs Department and the F.B.I. released statements acknowledging a new message in the case, but gave no further details. The Tucson, Ariz., television station KOLD received the message one day after Ms. Guthrie's son, Camron, reiterated the family's plea for her safe return. It remains unclear whether the new message is related to the earlier purported ransom note.

Experts have noted that if Ms. Guthrie was abducted by a stranger at age 84, it would be an extremely unusual case. Most kidnappings in the United States involve family or custody disputes, with the vast majority of victims being children. Investigators have not identified any suspects since Ms. Guthrie was last seen at her home outside Tucson, Ariz., on Saturday night. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have released emotional videos expressing their willingness to speak with anyone who may have information.

In a separate development, former U.S. President Donald Trump said he "didn't see" the part of a social media video which showed a racist clip depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. The clip was at the end of a 62-second video he shared containing claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The video was later removed. When asked if he would apologize, Trump said, "I didn't make a mistake." He added that he had only seen the beginning of the video before it was posted by a staff member.
