President Trump slammed the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance Thursday, but told reporters that it’s time to cover “other subjects” after weeks of intense focus on the apparent kidnapping.
Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since Feb. 1, when a masked man was filmed at her Tucson-area home’s front door.
Trump said he was perplexed by the fact that authorities informed the media they would be flying aircraft equipped with Bluetooth technology to detect Guthrie’s pacemaker.
“I didn’t like when they talked about going after the pacemaker before they even started going after it,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Georgia.
“If in fact they could do it that way, the person would say, ‘Well, I’m not going to let that happen’… I can’t imagine why they would have done that, just in terms of strategy.”
Trump added: “We have to start reporting on other subjects also and see what happens. It’s a very sad situation.”
The FBI has assisted in the case but has not commandeered the investigation amid alleged missteps by local law enforcement.
Trump told The Post Monday that he wants Guthrie’s captors to face the death penalty if she is not returned alive.
