Kash Patel says FBI 'kept out' out of Nancy Guthrie investigation for first 4 days

The FBI was shut out of the Nancy Guthrie investigation for the first four days after the mother of the "Today Show" host, Savannah Guthrie went missing, FBI Director Kash Patel claimed in a new interview.

"For four days, we were kept out of the investigation," Patel said on Sean Hannity's podcast of the FBI's lack of involvement in the initial days of the Guthrie investigation. "The first 48 hours of anyone's disappearance are the most critical."

Nancy Guthrie has been missing since Feb. 1. Authorities in Pima County have said they believe she was taken from her Tucson, Arizona, home.
