MAX FOSTER, CNN HOST: Welcome back. I'm Max Foster.

We are following breaking news out of Arizona this hour, where there has been a major development in the search for Nancy Guthrie. The FBI has

released video and stills of a person at her home. The FBI says they show an armed individual.

You can see the masks, the gloves. The person is also carrying a backpack or some sort of tools authorities believe they're trying to tamper with the

security camera.

Nancy's daughter is NBC "Today Show" anchor Savannah Guthrie. NBC's reporting the Guthrie family doesn't recognize the person in the

surveillance images. Nancy Guthrie has been missing for 10 days now.

Joshua Schirard joins us. He's the former Galveston, Texas police captain.

Thank you so much for joining us. I mean, this appears to be their first lead. They thought the camera was broken, they wouldn't be able to use it.

Clearly, they've got some tech experts in that have managed to retrieve it from somewhere.

JOSHUA SCHIRARD, FORMER GALVESTON, TEXAS POLICE CAPTAIN: Yeah, this is a really good example to people how that digital evidence, digital forensics

is such a growing field. And while that camera didn't record locally or even you know, set to actually record on a server somewhere, there were

still able to retrieve a lot of that digital evidence. And this is just what we know. There may be more digital evidence out there yet to be

retrieved.

But this is a great example of how different, you know, facets of an investigation can come together and how a lot of work assets and resources

can produce extraordinarily valuable results.

FOSTER: So, the Guthrie family saying they don't recognize this person. Presumably if they did, the police would be holding some sort of different

investigation right now. So, this is about showing this as much as possible. So, someone out there may be recognizes something that they're

wearing or something in their movements because there have been so many high-profile cases that have been solved by quite obscure pictures,

actually

SCHIRARD: You know, in over two decades of law enforcement, I can probably only count the number of cases that didn't use the public's help that we

were able to solve. Look you know, the success of a case like this -- of identifying a suspect like this is wholly contingent on the community and

the public out there coming together and trying to help police and this family identify the suspect. So we've had several high profile cases here

in the U.S. over the last several years that have had images that were far less descriptive than this, and someone was able to identify that person

fairly quickly.

So, I have no doubt that with the images and the video that were seeing through recognizing the clothes or just the small facial expressions or

even the gait, that person's walk, that somebody will be able to identify the suspect, probably fairly quickly.

FOSTER: He's trying to cover up the camera, but he's staring right into it at the time. Also, experts earlier on the program saying how he isn't

carrying the gun properly. He doesn't look like a professional. But you tell me, because you know.

[15:20:03]

SCHIRARD: Yeah. Definitely not. It looks like someone that did some cursory planning, a little bit of planning. Obviously, he showed up,

dressed the part and brought a lot of equipment. As we can see, that backpack is stuffed full and brought a firearm, seemingly to do someone

harm or at least threaten harm.

But clearly, through those little actions, we know that he definitely wasn't a professional. Yet his movements were still fairly calm. So, you

know, clearly his intent was portrayed here of what he intended to do to cause harm or threat of harm, but definitely lacks the signs, the polish of

an actual professional, which really helps kind of narrow down some of the suspects and some of the intent here, as we look at why this was -- why he

perpetrated this here in the coming days.

FOSTER: Yeah, we haven't actually had it confirmed that it's a he, but that's obviously the assumption a lot of people are working on.

I just wanted to ask you about the backpack, though. Obviously, it's important to see that because they may be able to track where this person

bought it. But do you think there's something in the fact that he's, you know, he's not carrying it or they're not carrying it? It's on their back.

Would that suggest that they didn't drive there and that they walked away with Nancy potentially.

SCHIRARD: You know, I think that the backpack holds all the tools that they were, you know, planning to utilize to do whatever that plan was. But

you know covering up the security camera, obviously, they weren't -- they weren't too concerned with anybody seeing them as they walked right up to

it. They're dressed head to toe to cover themselves.

So, my question is was covering up the security camera in order to obscure the escape or obscure what they were planning to do with Nancy or taking

Nancy somewhere? That tells me that it's most likely that they planned on taking Nancy from the house, and they probably have a vehicle somewhere

because, you know, trying to take somebody against their will too far of a distance is incredibly difficult if you're only on foot.

FOSTER: Joshua Schirard, I really appreciate your expertise on this. You haven't got much to go on, but obviously you've got a lifetime of

experience. So thank you so much for joining us.

SCHIRARD: Thank you.

FOSTER: Now to other news and several lawmakers who've seen the unredacted version of the Epstein files are accusing the Justice Department of

unnecessarily blackening out names to shield powerful people. Congressman Jamie Raskin says the DOJ has been in cover up mode for many months now.

The department is now allowing a limited number of lawmakers to view the unredacted version of files its already released. It says it's hiding

nothing.

Today, Democrats join Epstein survivors and their families, introducing legislation to remove the statute of limitations on sex trafficking so

abusers can't escape justice by running out the clock.

The brother of late survivor Virginia Giuffre had this message.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SKY ROBERTS, BROTHER OF VIRGINIA GIUFFRE: To Prince Andrew, former Prince Andrew, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, to be specific, he needs to show up. He

needs to show up, and he needs to answer questions in front of our Congress.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

FOSTER: Annie Grayer joins us from Capitol Hill.

I mean you know, everyone's baffled about male names being blacked out because when the initial FBI press conference or Department of Justice

conference happened, they said that wouldn't be the case. And it does speak to, you know, the conspiracy theory that this is all a cover up. They're

not doing anything to help themselves.

ANNIE GRAYER, CNN SENIOR REPORTER: There are a lot of questions at the Department of Justice and the FBI have to answer for when it comes to these

redactions, because, as you point out, this was not how the process was supposed to work. The law that passed Congress mandated that Department of

Justice had to release all of its files, and the only redactions would be for -- to protect the personal information of survivors and potentially to

protect ongoing active criminal investigations.

Now, we don't know of an active criminal investigation ongoing. So, the names of potential coconspirators should have been released publicly to

Congress and should have -- should have been public for everyone to see. So when lawmakers went into the DOJ offices yesterday to finally get to see

what these unredacted files looked like, they were surprised when they saw a lot of -- they saw at least six men's names who had been redacted in the

DOJ release, but were unredacted in this private setting.

So Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, who led the effort to get this law passed that compelled DOJ to make this file release, you know, talk to me, talk to

the press made this very public about these six potential coconspirators. And since then, DOJ has unredacted those names. So, the question is, is why

-- is why weren't they acting in the first place?

And Jamie Raskin, who you mentioned, pointed out that Donald Trump's name was, was -- had been redacted in the public release, but he saw his name in

a number of times in that unredacted setting.

[15:25:03]

And then there's this question of when the lawmakers went in. They should have been able to see every single document in unredacted form.

But even in that setting, there were still documents that were redacted, especially documents from the FBI. And so, there's a question of did the

FBI not send the original files to the Department of Justice, because that was also supposed to be part of the original law. So, I should point out

that Attorney General Pam Bondi is going to be in front of the House Judiciary Committee tomorrow, and lawmakers plan to ask her a lot of these

questions.

FOSTER: Okay. Annie, I appreciate it. Thanks for joining us there.

A newly released document that Donald Trump called Florida police in the mid-2000s, also in the documents to express his gratitude that Jeffrey

Epstein was actually under investigation. Mr. Trump reportedly told the police that, quote, everyone has known he's been doing this. That raises

more questions about what specifically Mr. Trump knew about Epstein and his crimes.

The White House declined to say whether the call took place, but insisted that Mr. Trump's stance had not changed over time.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KAROLINE LEAVITT, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: What I will say is that the president has always remained consistent and that he kicked Jeffrey Epstein

out of his club at Mar-a-Lago because, frankly, Jeffrey Epstein was a creep. And unlike many other people who are named in these files, President

Trump cut off his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and was honest and transparent about that for years and years. And so, I think what the

president has said all along has always remained true. And the release of more than 3 million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and his heinous,

disgusting crimes just shows the level of transparency that this president and administration has committed to and bringing these files to light.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

FOSTER: Meanwhile, several members of Congress are calling for U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign.

Earlier, Lutnick was asked about his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, and here's how he responded.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN (D-MD): Why did the Epstein files show you coordinating a meeting and planning a visit with Jeffrey Epstein on his

private island in December 2012?

HOWARD LUTNICK, COMMERCE SECRETARY: I met Jeffrey Epstein when he moved -- when I moved to a house next door to him in New York, all right? And I met

him then. Over the next 14 years, I met him two other times that I can recall, probably the total.

And you've seen all of these documents of these millions and millions of documents. There may be 10 emails connecting me with him, probably about 10

emails connecting me with him over a 14-year period. I did not have any relationship with him. I barely had anything to do with that person. Okay?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

FOSTER: Alayna Treene joins us live from the White House.

Well, he's got the support of the White House, hasn't he? Crucially so. I guess he stays in post.

ALAYNA TREENE, CNN WHITE HOUSE REPORTER: Yeah. Let's start with Lutnick. You heard very directly from the White House Press Secretary Karoline

Leavitt, Max, that the president, she said, stands firmly with Lutnick. She said that he is a very important member of the president's team and left it

at that.

But there are a lot of questions about this, and I should say that we are now hearing calls from lawmakers saying that Lutnick should resign over

this, specifically from one of the Republican lawmakers, Thomas Massie. I should note he is not someone who gets along well with President Trump or

this White House, but he is one of the people who has really led the push for the disclosure of these files, the release of these files.

And he said, essentially, he said this to CNN on Sunday, he said that Lutnick should make life easier for the president frankly, and just resign.

And I think the problem that a lot of people are pointing out with what we are hearing from Lutnick today is that essentially he had previously argued

that he had no relationship with or had no contact with Lut -- excuse me with Epstein after meeting him in 2005. In a previous interview that he did

not that long ago, he had said essentially that he had noted again that he was neighbors with Epstein, but said that when they had met, he thought

that he was gross and that he was disgusting.

But then after we saw these new documents come to light, he confirmed today in that hearing that he had visited Epstein's Caribbean island in 2012. And

that is after Epstein's conviction in 2008, where he had served some jail time. That was after some of these allegations had already come to light,

and Epstein had already been charged.

And he said that he had went with his family, stopped at the island and had lunch with Epstein. And so, that is what is very concerning to a lot of

people. And I think it's worth noting as well that this administration, you heard it from Leavitt today, has been very dismissive of any sort of ties

that any members have had to Epstein.

[15:30:00]

And it was similar what we heard from Leavitt, kind of to brush off some of the files about, you know, now coming to light that the president had

called the FBI about Epstein.

The reason that's notable, even though Leavitt said that corroborates, corroborates the presidents claim that he had kicked him out, that they had

lost their relationship because the president thought he was a creep. It did raise questions about the extent of the crimes that Epstein was

committing, the extent of the knowledge that Trump had at the time of what he was doing. And so, a lot of questions still circulating around all of

this, Max.

FOSTER: As ever, Alayna Treene, thank you so much.

Still to come, we'll look closer at the pictures of the potential suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

FOSTER: Continuing to follow developments for you out of Arizona. The FBI has released video and images of a masked person at Nancy Guthrie's home.

They show a person on her doorstep wearing gloves, apparently armed. They're also carrying a backpack or tools. The 84-year-old Guthrie has been

missing for 10 days now. She's the mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie.

Josh Campbell joins us now with the latest.

I mean, it's very strong video, isn't it? And we've had other cases solved with much poorer video.

JOSH CAMPBELL, CNN SECURITY CORRESPONDENT: Yeah, the quality is exceptional. And we were all wondering what we would get after we first

learned that this imagery was coming. But you see a lot of important things on this video. First is in the imagery. You can see that the person is

clothed from head to toe. This person has a mask on and is obscuring their hands with these very thick gloves.

Now, one possibility there, sometimes criminals are indeed smart, and they don't want to leave behind things like fingerprints or DNA evidence from

skin or hair fibers. Knowing the technology that law enforcement now has to try to collect, even the most minuscule piece of DNA.

[15:35:06]

And so that is notable.

We can also see that the suspect appears to have a firearm right at his waist as he comes forward. There is a question about whether this person

had done some type of planning beforehand, and had actually been to the residence. This video does raise that question because this is all being

taken from a security camera. But you can see in his hand right there the appears, the suspect actually went over and grabbed some type of foliage or

flowers to then come over and try to cover up that doorbell camera. The question being that if this was someone who had cased that location and saw

the camera they may have been more prepared to obstruct the view of that camera if that was indeed what they were intending to do.

Now, the reason on this video why we do not see Nancy Guthrie coming out of the home, and that's because the suspect actually took the camera with him

when he left. But authorities and the FBI say that they were able to work with the company that actually made that device, that in order to try to

use a very technical means to try to resurrect some of that imagery, which were now seeing on our screen, authorities asking anyone with any

information on this person to include how they walk, you know, items that they have on them, to certainly pick up the phone and call the FBI.

FOSTER: Yeah, they seem pretty relaxed. I don't know. I mean, you've got much more experience of this, Josh, but they don't seem to be in a rush.

They don't think they're being filmed, what do you make of that? And the fact that they'll be seeing this video now and how they react to that?

CAMPBELL: No, I think you're spot on. I mean, that's why this is in part so mysterious is because we see the person. They don't -- they don't rush

up to the door. And again, we believe this was taken in the middle of the night between Saturday and Sunday before her disappearance. But the person

as you mentioned, just kind of saunters up, steps on to the front porch, is kind of walking around. You know that that area before the camera actually

goes out of view.

Of course, the big question, obviously we all have, in addition to where is Nancy Guthrie and what happened to her is what might have possibly been the

motive here to abduct her. Authorities say that they don't yet have a suspect identified. It is worth pointing out that we did hear from Savannah

Guthrie just a short time ago.

She says that the family believes that Nancy is still alive. And they say Savannah says that she thinks that someone out there knows who this person

is. So now we're in this crowdsource mode where law enforcement wants, you know people around the world to be looking at this imagery. If you

recognize anything about this person that could connect them to someone that you know. That's what they're hoping for.

FOSTER: Yeah, poor family. Josh, thank you so much.

CAMPBELL: You bet.

FOSTER: It's the final moments of trade on Wall Street. The Dow is pretty flat. Some early gains have more or less evaporated at this point.

This is our Business Breakout.

American shoppers are feeling gloomy about the economy over Christmas. New retail sales numbers from December were unexpectedly flat, much weaker

result than economists had expected. The numbers were delayed a month because of last year's government shutdown.

The U.S. has fallen to its worst ever position in a global corruption ranking. The study by Transparency International now ranks the U.S. and

29th place out of 182 countries, behind countries like Uruguay and Barbados. The index measures how business leaders and experts see

corruption levels in the public sector. Denmark was ranked the least corrupt country.

If you haven't sorted a Valentines Day gift yet, McDonalds has a suggestion for you, McNugget themed caviar. The company is giving away small tins of

caviar, along with a mother of pearl caviar spoon to celebrate the holiday. Rihanna tried out the unlikely combo in a TikTok video a couple of years

ago.

Chappell Roan is cutting ties with one of the world's biggest talent agencies after its founder appeared several times in the Epstein files.

Roan announced on Instagram that she is no longer represented by Wasserman, which also represents artists like Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran, Joni

Mitchell. Casey Wasserman, the group's founder, was shown to have exchanged flirtatious messages with Epstein's partner Ghislaine Maxwell more than 20

years ago.

Wasserman has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. He apologized in a statement to other news outlets last week for

his communications with Maxwell, and said he never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Entertainment journalist Segun joins us now.

Thank you, as ever, for joining us.

I mean, you know, we've seen it rip through the financial world, this story. It's now going through entertainment, isn't it? And it's really

interesting that she's taken this move, and whether other stars will follow.

SEGUN ODUOLOWU, ENTERTAINMENT JOURNALIST: Max, you're 100 percent correct. The entertainment world is what gave birth to the #metoo movement and

really was the launching pad for so much of the dialog about listening to women believing women and some of the horrors that rich men with power

perpetrate on them.

[15:40:08]

Who would have thought that Chappell Roan, whose eye-raising Grammy Award winning dress would raise even more applause for her stance and putting her

money and her music where her mouth has been when it comes to her morality. When she first won at the Grammy's, she spoke about how artists should take

bigger stances and demand that they be treated in a way that they felt was right.

Cutting ties with Wasserman, as you said at the top, one of the largest agencies, and that has a complete stable of huge stars, is a very bold

move. But it will endear her not only to her fans. I think it will bring a whole slew of new fans who recognize a star willing to stand up for what

they believe in.

FOSTER: What's been the reaction to Epstein from the entertainment world? Have they seen it as outside their world or do they know it was coming to

them at some point?

ODUOLOWU: Oh, they are shaking in their boots, as we have seen, names are being thrown around on social media without any credibility. And so, with,

you know, you see, you see a Jay-Z or you see a Pusha T or you see a picture with this artist and that artist having arms around it, and then

this one gets debunked and then Jay-Z is, you know, is not really a part of Epstein.

People are shaking in their boots because who knows what to believe, who knows who, which record producer, which record exec which musician, which

large star is in some way, shape or form even tangentially associated with Epstein is giving you a, you know, a scarlet letter so to speak. So, yes,

Hollywood and the entertainment world is very fearful and very aware, aware of who's name could be next.

What apology you better have or what explanation you better have on deck. People are fast dialing their publicists to make sure the message is coming

out correctly. Hey, I had nothing to do with that guy.

FOSTER: Well, it's the usual response, isn't it always that they knew Epstein? They stopped the relationship when it all came out. But there are

actually another three million documents, aren't there, that are sitting there. And they're also documents in other countries people are going to

get caught out eventually by this. It'll be interesting to see if anyone's lying low.

ODUOLOWU: Well, I think lying low and crossing your fingers, hoping that it blows past you. But, Max, you know, as a journalist its two simple

questions. What did you know and when did you know it? And if you knew about Epstein and were still a part of that circle or in his orbit, there's

going to be a cry from the public of shame on you.

Now, if you didn't know, or as you saw with Russell Wilson, hey, how quickly people are jumping in front of the train to say if my name comes

up. This is why it was there. I had nothing more to do with this person or any of his affiliates.

I think you're going to start seeing people take proactive stances whose names might come up because of an agent, an agency or whatever to say hey,

that's not me, that's not what I'm about. I disavow everything. I think they're going to have to make preemptive strikes.

FOSTER: Yeah, I think you'd be reporting on it more, won't you?

Segun Oduolowu, thank you so much for joining us today, as ever.

ODUOLOWU: Appreciate it.

FOSTER: We'll be back in a moment

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[15:46:41]

FOSTER: President Trump appears determined to build a jumbo version of Paris's Arc de Triomphe despite some significant pushback. The Independence

Arch would help commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary. President promising to sign an executive order for its construction. But the project

is facing major hurdles on a number of fronts.

With more, here's CNN's senior White House reporter Betsy Klein.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

BETSY KLEIN, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE REPORTER: Well, as we've seen President Trump take steps to impose his own style and tastes at the White

House, both in the Oval Office and with his ballroom projects, President Trump now is trying to get into the business of monuments. Trump wants to

build an arch, and he wants it to be the biggest, 250 feet tall to honor the country's 250th anniversary.

Now, the sheer scope of this project is already prompting concerns from historical preservationists and others, as well as the possibility of legal

hurdles ahead.

Trump says he essentially wants an American version of Paris's Arc de Triomphe but bigger, about 100 feet bigger. It's also going to be about 30

feet bigger than the largest monumental arch, which is currently in Mexico City. The proposed arch is 165 feet tall and 165 feet wide. But then on top

of that, you have 25-foot pedestal and then a 60-foot gilt bronze sculpture of Lady Liberty on top of that.

Now for some perspective, that is the equivalent of a 16 to 20-story building. Now, there are two key concerns with this project that I'm

hearing from sources.

Number one is that it blocks a historically significant view. This arch is going to sit at the base of a bridge that connects the view between

Arlington National Cemetery and Arlington House, atop a hill with the Lincoln memorial on the other side. Arlington House was the home to

Confederate General Robert E. Lee and his family, and sources, and the National Park Service even say that the bridge between these two memorials

serves as a historic and symbolic link between the north and the south.

And then separately on air safety. This is a very tall structure and approaching planes heading to Reagan National Airport are going to be at

about 492 feet. That leaves very little room for pilot error there. And of course, the Federal Aviation Administration is going to have to conduct its

own study and review and let them know what need be done here.

Now, President Trump says he will be signing an executive order. All of this is going to be subject to additional reviews and public input in the

coming months.

Now, one thing I was told by a source familiar with the process is that the president was presented other options for this arch, including a 165-foot

version and 123-foot version both significantly smaller. But the president, that source says, was dead set on having a huge arch.

Betsy Klein, CNN, in Washington.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

FOSTER: Still to come, showdown on the ice. The Quad God and his Japanese rival already for the men's figure skating competition. The latest scores,

results from the winter games, just ahead.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[15:52:26]

FOSTER: One of the highest profile events at the Olympics is happening. Right now, the men's figure skating short program underway, featuring a

much anticipated showdown between Ilya Malinin, the Quad God, and his Japanese rival Yuma Kagiyama. Kajiyama won the short program during the

team competition, but Malinin took the free skate.

"WORLD SPORT's" Don Riddell is tracking all the action and the backflips.

DON RIDDELL, CNN WORLD SPORT: Yeah, those backflips are amazing, aren't they, Max? Anticipation absolutely building in Milan before those skaters

take to the ice. Both men are scheduled to go very, very soon.

But we've already seen something quite memorable in this event today. This is the American Maksim Naumov, who tragically lost both his parents in that

devastating plane crash at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., last January. His mom and dad were also his coaches, so he was forced to

start again.

And after the crash, you can imagine all of the hurdles that he's had to overcome to get this far. And as he waited for the judges' score, he posed

with a picture of his mom and dad when he was just a little kid learning to skate. So many emotions during that program.

Also today, a performance that was kind of hard to miss as had been promised. Tomas-Llorenc Guarino Sabate dressed like a minion, dancing to

some minions music. This after the six-time Spanish champion had been told he didn't have copyright clearance, which might have meant he'd have to

skate to Saturday Night Fever instead. But all's well that ends well. The minions have taken Milan, and I assume hell be treating himself to some

gelato later.

These Olympics continue to serve up a real mix of emotions for the U.S. women's ski team after Lindsey spectacular crash on Sunday. The great

Mikaela Shiffrin was really disappointing in the team combined event. Shiffrin usually dominates the slalom, but she could only finish 15th out

of 18 racers. Her teammate Breezy Johnson, you remember, won the downhill gold on Sunday. She had done her part, but Shiffrin's performance dragged

them out of the medal positions into fourth.

On the World Cup circuit, Shiffrin is the best of all time, but she hasn't now medaled at the Olympics since 2018.

The Swedish mixed curling team is celebrating a gold medal performance and it was a very special family affair as siblings Rasmus and Isabella Wrana

combined to beat the USA 6-5. This is not Rasmus's first rodeo. He won gold in the last Olympics and silver the time before that, but this was

Isabella's Olympic debut.

[15:55:01]

And a Slovenian family is also taking home a couple of gold medals after winning the ski jumping mixed team event, brother and sister Domen and Nika

Prevc and their two teammates finished ahead of Norway and Japan. Nika had already taken silver in the individual ski jumping event.

Pretty cool that. Max, back to you.

FOSTER: Absolutely. Don, thanks so much.

Finally, tonight, after 15 weeks of walking, that journey is over. A group of Buddhist monks who began a walk for peace back in October have arrived

at their final destination in Washington, D.C. They trek from Texas carrying the simple message of peace, mindfulness and compassion.

They arrived at Washington's National Cathedral just a short while ago. There you go. Their walk has turned into a social media sensation, drawing

attention in every town and city that they visited.

I'm Max Foster. That's WHAT WE KNOW. Stay with CNN.
