President Trump on Friday was asked why the FBI hasn’t taken over the Nancy Guthrie case after the Pima County Sheriff blocked the FBI from accessing key evidence.
On Thursday night it was reported, that the FBI says the Democrat Pima County Sheriff is blocking evidence in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance case, according to Reuters and Fox News.
According to reporting from Fox News, DNA and a glove were found inside of Nancy Guthrie’s home and Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is blocking the feds from examining the new evidence.
“The FBI wanted to send DNA and a glove found inside the house to their lab at Quantico Virginia for testing. The sheriff here, the Pima County Sheriff, insisted instead on sending it to a private lab that is based in Florida!” – Fox News reported.
“Now obviously you would think that there is nowhere better in the country, never even in the world, than the FBI’s lab in Quantico for that kind of testing,” Fox News said.
“The Guthrie family hoping tonight that the infighting stops and finding Nancy Guthrie really gets underway here, because that is what the Guthrie family wants to hear. Not the people are fighting about who has jurisdiction, but what they’re doing to find Nancy Guthrie,” the outlet reported.
On Friday, President Trump was asked why the FBI hasn’t taken over Guthrie case.
“Well, they took it over originally. You know, it was a local case originally. They didn’t want to let go of it, which is fine. It’s up to them. It’s really up to the community,” Trump told reporters.
“But ultimately, when the FBI got involved, I think, you know, progress has been made,” Trump said.
