TMZ reported receiving a "highly sophisticated" ransom note as the search for Nancy Guthrie expands internationally to Mexico.

The FBI has reportedly expanded its search south of the U.S. border and asked law enforcement officials in Mexico to join the search for 84-year-old Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, who went missing three weeks ago from her Tucson home. Sources told TMZ they believe Guthrie could have been taken across the border, but it's unlikely it happened immediately after she was taken from her home.

Former Fox News host turned far-right influencer Tucker Carlson claimed Israeli security forces briefly detained him at the airport after a trip to Tel Aviv for a chat with former Arkansas Gov. and current U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.

According to the Daily Mail, Carlson "flew into Tel Aviv for a sit-down with Mike Huckabee, who challenged Carlson to speak to him directly following an online spat about the country's treatment of Christians. Carlson, who also frequently criticizes Israel for its military actions in Gaza, took Huckabee up on his offer."

More chaos erupted on Wednesday in the Republican Texas primary for agriculture commissioner, as a MAGA congressman caught the incumbent commissioner falsely claiming that he had endorsed him.

Ronny Jackson.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt didn't hold back Wednesday when a reporter dared to challenge President Donald Trump's bold claims about being falsely labeled a racist.

When asked to provide specific examples of when Trump believed he'd been unfairly branded with the racist label, Leavitt's response was swift and sharp.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) suggested Tuesday that Laura Loomer was President Donald Trump's "side piece" because she had not been named an official adviser or been given a permanent White House press pass.

Earlier this week, Greene lashed out after Loomer said she expected "Marjorie Traitor Greene" to attack the president throughout the midterms.

During his testimony about Jeffrey Epstein before members of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, billionaire Les Wexner told lawmakers about a past behavior of President Donald Trump’s that he found to be “odd,” and one that on multiple occasions involved the notorious child sex offender.

Wexner began testifying before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday at his mansion in Ohio, closed-door testimony that’s expected to continue into Wednesday afternoon or possibly Wednesday evening. During a brief break in the deposition, lawmakers gave reporters an update on the hearing, with Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) expressing frustration at Wexner’s lack of answers.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt struggled to keep a straight face while insisting that information she delivered from the podium was "obviously true because I'm saying it."

During Wednesday's White House briefing, Michael Graham noted that Americans in New England were paying "the highest prices for natural gas to heat their home."

President Donald Trump demanded the United Kingdom hold onto an Indian Ocean island that's home to a joint airbase because it might be needed for a possible war against Iran.

Prosecutors in U.S. attorney Jeannine Pirro's office are unnerved by their failures to indict targets of President Donald Trump's ire, and they reportedly believe the system is rigged against them.

The president accused six Democratic lawmakers of sedition for producing a video urging military service members to disobey unlawful orders, but their lawyers said federal prosecutors looking into those allegations were genial in their inquiry and indicated an investigation was in its earliest stages – until suddenly something charged, reported the New York Times.

Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) hounded billionaire Les Wexner Wednesday during a break from the billionaire’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee on his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Wexner was compelled by law to testify Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee, members of which traveled to Wexner’s mansion in Ohio to conduct the closed-door hearing. During a break in the testimony, a handful of lawmakers on the committee spoke with reporters to provide an update, and Lynch, speaking fiercely, blasted Wexner for his “hard to believe” testimony up to that point.

The White House announced that President Donald Trump was celebrating Black History Month by pushing policies like voter ID that would make it more difficult to vote.

In a statement titled, "President Trump Celebrates Black History Month" on Wednesday, the White House said, "President Trump's historic push to pass the SAVE America Act will safeguard the voices of black Americans — and all Americans — by preventing illegal votes from disenfranchising any citizen."
