A chilling new clue on Lisa Brady. FOX News surveillance footage from outside Nancy Guthrie's front door in Arizona shows someone approaching and appearing to tamper with the door camera released by the FBI along with a renewed appeal for the public's help.

[B]

As Savannah Guthrie herself said, someone knows that person. If that is your husband, your brother, your uncle, even a good friend, you recognize that person just from the gate, from their size, from the eyes that we see up close, from the face behind the ski mask.

[A]

Fox's Jonathan Hunt in Tucson. The person is also wearing large gloves and what appears to be a holstered gun. The FBI director says that footage is from the morning that Nancy Guthrey went missing 10 days ago. Investigators also still going door to door talking to neighbors of Annie Guthrie, another of Nancy Guthrie's children. A few miles away, a heated house hearing at times as Democrats slam immigration enforcement operations and the homeland Security secretary.

Congressman Benny Thompson also calling a moment of silence for two protesters killed during confrontations with agents in Minneapolis. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott defending a surge of agents.

[C]

The reason you saw so many people surged into LA at one point and then now into Minneapolis was because we had to surge additional resources in to protect the ICE agents that were literally just going to try to make a lawful arrest.

[A]

This as Democrats push for ICE reforms as part of Homeland security funding which runs out Friday night if no deal is reached. President Trump just telling FOX Business Iran would be foolish if they don't make a deal. This ahead of more talks between the US And Iran mediated by Oman. Tomorrow the president has a White House meeting with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. America is listening to FOX News.

And YouTube lawyer Mark Lanier pulling this direct quote goal is not viewership, it's viewer addiction. Lanier attempting to engage the jury, illustrating what he says is as simple as ABC holding up toy blocks with the letters. He says it's an acronym for addicting the brains of children.
