FBI Releases Images and Video in Nancy Guthrie Disappearance; DOJ Moves to Dismiss Bannon Contempt Conviction
TUCSON, ARIZONA - The FBI released new images and video Tuesday related to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, showing a masked individual at her Tucson, Arizona home. The FBI also announced the Department of Justice moved Monday to dismiss Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress conviction.
The images and videos, released by the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department, depict a masked person wearing a backpack on the porch of Nancy Guthrie's home. FBI Director Kash Patel, who was at the law enforcement command post for the Guthrie investigation on Monday, also posted the videos. One 27-second video shows the individual approaching the front door and raising a gloved hand to a home security camera before walking away. A 14-second video shows the person facing the camera. "We believe she is still alive. Bring her home," Savannah Guthrie responded, according to ABC News.
The images show an "armed individual" at the front door of Nancy Guthrie's Tucson-area home around the time investigators suspect she was abducted on Feb. 1, according to ABC News.
In other news, the Department of Justice moved Monday to toss out Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress conviction, a rare request that would undo another element of the Biden-era investigations related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro made the request to dismiss Bannon's case in the district court in Washington, D.C., according to Fox News. The dismissal would scrap Bannon's conviction, despite the former Trump advisor and "War Room" podcast host already completing his prison sentence.
In other news, an FBI affidavit revealed new details about a search of an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, last month, when investigators seized material related to the 2020 election. According to the affidavit, the search came as part of an ongoing "FBI criminal investigation into whether any of the improprieties" alleged around the 2020 election in Fulton County "were intentional acts that violated federal criminal laws." The new document also said that the FBI investigation was initiated following a referral from an attorney who worked to overturn the election results in 2020.
Additionally, police clashed with anti-Israel demonstrators in Sydney during protests against Israeli President Isaac Herzog's visit to Australia, prompting national leaders to urge calm and call for demonstrations to remain peaceful, according to Fox News. Police said 27 people were arrested, including 10 for allegedly assaulting officers, after violence broke out Monday evening when authorities moved to clear thousands of protesters gathered near Sydney's Town Hall.
