A former FBI hostage negotiator flagged a dark detail in the new Nancy Guthrie ransom note that was delivered to the family on Monday. In the note, Guthrie's abductors claimed that the 84-year-old mother of "Today!" co-host Savannah Guthrie had been "buried with nature now," according to a source close to the investigation who spoke to NewsNation reporter Brian Entin. Chip Massey, a former hostage negotiator, told CNN's Erin Burnett that the abductors also included details in the note that point to where the investigation may go next. "The messaging itself, Erin, as you pointed out, is also interesting because now we're shifting," Massey said. "The captors have shifted from a point of leverage to now it seems like they're trying to manage the narrative."Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona, in the middle of the night in late January after seeing her family at a dinner engagement. Authorities have released scant details about the suspects or their motives, other than a few pictures captured by the doorbell camera at Guthrie's home. Massey said the new note suggests that the abductors want to convince the Guthries, and possibly the public, that Guthrie's death was an accident. "Whatever the wording is, that's a narrative control," he said. "And so what we're seeing is that perhaps they're thinking, 'In the event that we are caught, or we want the public to see us in this light.' As opposed to murderous kidnappers."
President Donald Trump's latest threat to sue a media company over its reporting was swiftly mocked by political analysts on Monday. Trump posted on Truth Social that his administration is preparing a lawsuit against ABC News over its reporting on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has faced significant criticism because of the project's shoddy work and ballooning costs. Initial estimates for the renovation came in at around $2 million, but the final bill was for roughly $16 million, according to reports. Meanwhile, the bottom of the pool has been peeling off, and the algae Trump promised to get rid of has returned in full force."We are preparing lawsuits against ABC for false reporting. I like their money, which will be given to the U.S. Treasury!" Trump wrote in the post. Political analysts bashed Trump's threat on social media. "Discovery should be interesting," Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health, posted on X.Arthur Delaney, a reporter at HuffPost, described Trump's threat as "ridiculous" in a post on X. "So he’s threatening to sue ABC News for… *not* publishing something?" Jared Holt, senior researcher at Open Measures, posted on Bluesky. "If you saw this in some random dictatorship somewhere, it would be late-night TV catnip," economist Sky Marchini posted on Bluesky.
President says ‘vandals’ to blame for algae blooms and peeling paint as $14m renovation to undergo further repairsThe Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool is set to be drained again after Donald Trump said on Monday – without providing proof – that five people were arrested for vandalism and five more are under investigation in connection to the algae blooms and peeling paint that appeared weeks after his ill-fated $14m renovation attempt.“It’s not a lot of damage, but we’ll probably have to let the water out and refix it. They went in there with a knife,” Trump told reporters, describing what he first said was a 290- to 300ft slit in the paint but then later amended to a 350ft slit. He also said someone had put fertilizer into the water, which caused the algae to grow. Continue reading...
