FBI Director Kash Patel is planning a trip to Tucson, Arizona, as President Trump deploys federal resources to find "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie's mother, two sources tell Axios.
The big picture: Trump said on Truth Social he'd spoken with Guthrie, whose mother went missing from her home outside Tucson over the weekend in what law enforcement called "suspicious" circumstances, and was "directing ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family's, and Local Law Enforcement's, complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY."

- Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has known Guthrie for more than 25 years, also spoke with her on the phone Wednesday and is receiving constant updates on the case, Axios has learned.
- Patel, who was already heading to Tucson for another engagement, is "devoting all resources possible to help and is prepared to go if the situation warrants," a source familiar with the matter said.
- Arizona officials are still leading the investigation and the FBI remains in a supportive role to the state, the source said.
