President Donald Trump is encouraging the press to report on other subjects as law enforcement continues its search for "Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie's missing mother.
The president commented on the ongoing investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. The 84-year-old mother of three was last seen on Jan. 31 in her home in Tucson, Arizona, in a case that has garnered national attention.
"Boy, it's so crazy. It's so bad," Trump told reporters Feb. 19 ahead of a speech in Rome, Georgia, about 70 miles northwest of Atlanta. "We have to start reporting on other subjects also and see what happens. It's a very sad situation."
Trump also commented on Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker, which the Pima County Sheriff's Department said Feb. 17 that authorities were working to locate. Investigators are working with the pacemaker's manufacturer and other experts in the field to assist in those efforts.
"I didn't like when they were talking about they're going after the pacemaker. Before they even started going after it, they're coming and reporting it. If, in fact, they could do it that way, the person would say, 'Well, I'm not gonna let that happen,' right? So bad things would happen and he's not going to let that happen," Trump said.
