Over at the White House, Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt is currently giving her media briefing.

Leavitt says she and President Donald Trump tuned into Sheriff Nanos’ media conference, and she describes the search for Nancy Guthrie as a “heartbreaking situation”.

She adds that Trump “spoke directly” with Savannah, Guthrie’s daughter, yesterday and offered federal government support.

“Any requests that are made by state and local officials in the search of Ms Guthrie will absolutely be accommodated,” Leavitt continues, saying that she has spoken with FBI Director Kash Patel about this today.

“Our hearts and our prayers are with Savannah and her entire family as they search for their dear mother.”
