A new video posted on Savannah's Instagram last night, this one of her brother Cameron. This is Cameron Guthrie. I'm speaking for the Guthrie family. Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven't heard anything. directly. We need you to reach out and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward. But first, we have to know that you have our mom. We want to talk to you and we are waiting for
Starting point is 00:02:45 contact. Multiple media organizations receiving a ransom letter earlier this week, requesting an undisclosed amount of Bitcoin by 5 p.m. yesterday. The latest Guthrie video on Instagram posting exactly at 5 p.m. local time. A second deadline listed in the ransom note, the specifics of which have not been disclosed, hits on Monday. FBI Special Agent Heath Yonke yesterday confirming the ransom letter contained details relevant to the crime scene, referencing a floodlight on Nancy's home and her Apple Watch. Agent Yonke also saying the note did not establish any kind of communication protocols. To the contrary, TMZ, which received a copy of the ransom note,
Starting point is 00:03:29 reporting yesterday that the letter made clear no talking was desired. As investigators worked to solve Nancy's disappearance, a California man under arrest for allegedly sending fake ransom texts. Derek Colella of Los Angeles, arrested by the FBI in connection with two text messages, received by Nancy Guthrie's daughter Annie and her husband, Tomaso Sione, shortly after the publication of the Wednesday video featuring the three siblings. The texts sent from a California-based phone number reading, quote, Did you get the Bitcoin? We're waiting on our end for the transaction. Investigators determining the phone number was generated through an app, allowing users to create a secondary number for their mobile devices, separate from the phone's actual number.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Some quick investigative work allowing law enforcement to connect that phone number to an email address, the FBI gathering additional records leading straight to Kalella's residence. According to the criminal complaint, after being read his Miranda rights, Colella admitted to using the account associated with the phone number that sent the two text messages. He also made a nine-second long call to an unidentified member of the Guthrie family. Callella telling authorities, he found the Guthrie family's information on a website and sent the message to see if the family would respond. This is sick.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Who would do this? Callella's charged with two felonies related to demanding ransom payments across state lines and transmitting threatening communications. Authorities say the text messages are not linked to the ransom demands received by the media. With a contempt of Congress vote looming, Bill and Hillary Clinton backing down and agreeing to appear for depositions before the House Oversight Committee in its probe into the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton now publicly challenging Oversight Committee Chairman,
Starting point is 00:05:26 Republican James Comer to hold a full public hearing. The Oversight Committee issuing a subpoena for both Clintons in August. Over the subsequent months, Congressman Comer accusing the Clintons of not working in good faith to secure a deposition date. In January, the Clintons taking a principled stand, writing to Mr. Comer, quote, Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles, and its people. No matter the consequences. For us, now is that time. Or like, soon. Like someday.
Starting point is 00:06:05 After Chairman Comer moved forward with a contempt of Congress vote, which passed with bipartisan support, the Clinton's deciding, the consequences actually might matter, and someone else will have to fight for the country. Bubba and the Mrs. can't go to the pokey. They folded like a cheap suit. just in time to avoid a full House vote this week. Had the House approved the contempt resolution, the citations would have been referred to the Department of Justice for possible prosecution. Under federal law, contempt of Congress
Starting point is 00:06:35 carries a maximum penalty of up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000. Mrs. Clinton now set to testify February 26th, Mr. Clinton, on the 27th. Congressman Comer on Tuesday telling reporters that if they fail to appear, contempt proceedings remain on the table. I'm very pleased today that the terms were the rules of a standard deposition.
Starting point is 00:07:00 So they're not going to be treated any differently than anyone else. And the dates will be in February in the next few weeks. So the contempt motion is still on the table. The contempt of Congress is for failing to show up. This will be their third date that we've given the Clintons. And three strikes and you're out. the votes are there for contempt. I think the Democrats, I think there are Democrats that will vote to hold him in contempt
Starting point is 00:07:26 if he missed it, if the Clintons missed this next day. So we're hopeful that they'll come in. We can ask questions. I think every American and every curious reporter would have, and then we'll move on. The depositions set to be filmed and transcribed, then released publicly, according to the chairman. Emails from the last-minute negotiations released by the Oversight Committee, showing the Clinton legal team requesting that any question, take place in a public hearing. That request rejected in a follow-up email from the committee
Starting point is 00:07:56 confirming details of the deposition. Yesterday, Mrs. Clinton going public with the challenge, writing on X quote, let's stop the games. If you want this fight, Representative James Comer, let's have it in public. You love to talk about transparency. There's nothing more transparent than a public hearing. Cameras on. We will be there. She's super-time. She's super-time. now. Chairman Comer responding Tuesday to the prospect of a public hearing. If we get through the deposition and there's something meaningful to have a hearing, if they still want some more oversight, then I think the members of my committee would love to have them in for a public hearing. So we're fine with that. The issue here is this original
Starting point is 00:08:39 subpoena and the contempt was on the deposition. So if I get to the depositions and they still want a public hearing, we'll try to do something because I think that I do it. And I don't think any secret. Depositions have historically been much more substantive than hearings. Hearings, unfortunately, have become more of an entertainment thing. This is a serious investigation, and it's bipartisan. Mr. Trump, Tuesday from the Oval, reacting to the Clinton's deposition battle, referencing the unprecedented lawfare waged against him and his family business by the Biden administration and its allies. I think it's a shame, to be honest. I always liked him. Her, Yeah, she's a very capable woman.
Starting point is 00:09:21 She was better in debating than some of the other people. I will tell you that. She was smarter, smart woman. I hate to see it in many ways. I hate to see it. But then I look at me. They went after me like, you know, they wanted me to go to jail for the rest of my life.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Then it turned out I was innocent, very innocent. So they tried to put me in jail. And I shouldn't feel this way, but I feel badly that they have to go through that. But then I say, but they did far worse than me. They wanted to put me in jail. Think of it. Coming up, new forensic details in the Teppy family murders,
Starting point is 00:09:59 the brutal final moments of the couple's lives revealed. And President Trump delivers wide-ranging remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast.

The couple's two children, ages three and one, were found unharmed in the home. authorities arresting Monique's ex-husband, surgeon Michael McKee in Rockford, Illinois on January 10th, alleging he drove 900 total miles to and from Columbus, carrying out the killings between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Monique and McKee were briefly married in August 2015 before divorcing in June of 2017. According to People magazine, they separated after less than a year. Investigators saying surveillance video captured a vehicle linked to McKee's
Starting point is 00:12:50 Maki near the Tepey home at the time of the murders. An affidavit revealing investigators also discovered video, capturing McKee near the tepee home for several hours three weeks prior to the murders as the tepies were out of town. Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant in a January press conference stating investigators are confident they have the right suspect. Sharing this about the evidence collected from the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network. We can also say that multiple weapons were taken from the property of McKee,
Starting point is 00:13:27 and there is a preliminary link from Nybin to one of the weapons that ties it to the homicides.

Starting point is 00:14:41 Also in attendance, the president of El Salvador, Naib Buckele, and musician Jellyroll. The president speaking for about an hour, with much of his remarks focused on the administration's push to protect religious liberty. Mr. Trump touching on some current political battles, including a renewed push for Congress to pass a national voter ID law. A little thing called voter ID. It polls at 97%. And even the Democrat, the people, the voters are at 82% for voter ID, but the leaders don't want to approve it. They said they will strike. They will not allow it to have. It's polling it over 90%.
Starting point is 00:15:19 It's called voter identification. When you go to the polls, you show of, yes, my name is so-and-so, and I live in the country, I'm here, I can vote. They say, that's not allowed. And everyone's trying to figure it out. And they do something to win. You know what it is?
Starting point is 00:15:36 They cheat, but let's get on to another subject. No, at that they're the finest, probably anywhere in the world, I would say. But we're trying to pass voter ID and other things, other things and other things having to do with your religion. And getting the Democrats to vote is very, very tough. Mr. Trump again publicly backing DHS Secretary Kristy Knoem as Democrats continue calls for her to resign over her handling of ICE operations in Minnesota or face impeachment. They were saying about Christy Knoom yesterday. I did the Super Bowl interview.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Sir, are you going to relieve Christy Knoem of her duties? No. Oh, I said, why would I do that? We have the strongest border in the history of our country. We have the best crime numbers we've ever had, going back to the year 1900, that's 125 years. And of course, in typical Trump fashion, there were some lighter moments as well, including him musing about whether he will get into heaven. I never get a fair break from the fake news, which is back there. That's a lot of fake news. Because last time I was having a lot of fun. We had a big red with 60,000 people, and I'm talking about the fact that I will never make it to heaven.
Starting point is 00:16:54 I will never ever, and I was being funny. I was trying to be, you know, you can't be sarcastic with them because they write your words, and the people are reading the words are much different. But I say, I'm never going to make it to heaven. I just don't think I qualify. I don't think there's a thing I can do, but all of these good things I'm doing,
Starting point is 00:17:13 including for religion, You know, religion's back now hotter than ever before. The New York Times did a front-page story that Donald Trump is questioning his life and the meaning of his life. No, I was just having fun. I really think I probably should make it. I mean, I'm not a perfect candidate, but I did a hell of a lot of good for perfect people. And that'll do it for your AM update.
