What are the latest updates in the Savannah Guthrie case?
No DNA match in the Guthrie case. I'm Chris Foster, Fox News. 17 days into the case, investigators come up empty, examining a glove that was found during the search for Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy, in Arizona. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos tells Fox.
The DNA on the glove that was found two miles away was submitted for CODIS, and I just heard that CODIS had no hits.
CODIS is the Combined DNA Index System, a database managed by the FBI. The sheriff says a blue shirt found not far from a trail of blood drops was left behind by a member of a U.S. Border Patrol canine team. There were a few more hours of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks today in Geneva, Switzerland. Fox's Trey Yinks reports.
A U.S. official texted me saying progress was made, but there are many details still to discuss. The Iranians said they would come back within the next two weeks with more detailed proposals about the gaps that still need to be bridged.
Iran's foreign minister says today's talks were more constructive than the first round earlier this month. One of the main public faces of the Trump administration's deportation operations is leaving her job.
Tricia McLaughlin is stepping down as the top spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a frequent face and voice in the media tasked with defending the Trump administration's immigration policies and their DHS enforcement operations. McLaughlin had planned her departure since last December, but will officially end her time there next week. Prior to her work with the Trump administration, she served as a top communications aide to Vivek Ramaswamy's presidential campaign in 2024. Eben Brown, Fox News.
President Trump calls the Reverend Jesse Jackson a good man and a force of nature. The civil rights leader died today, 84 years old, in Chicago. He was a protege of Martin Luther King Jr. and his niece, Alveda King, says from her conversations with Jackson.
He would probably encourage us to work to unify and stop fighting each other today.

A planned media merger could be taking another direction after all.
Warner Brothers Discovery says it will reopen merger talks with Paramount Skydance. Paramount wants to buy all of the business, including the cable unit, which includes CNN and TNT. Warner says Paramount is willing to boost its offer from $30 a share to $31 if Warner reopens talks. Netflix already has a deal to buy most of the business, Warner's movie and TV studios and HBO Max, but not the cable channels. Netflix said in a statement that it believes its offer remains superior, but granted Warner a seven-day waiver to fully and finally resolve this matter.
What progress has been made in the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks?
Netflix has the right to match any offer Warner accepts from another bidder. Jenny Kosilda, Fox News.
On Wall Street, the Dow's up 140 points, the S&P up 24, the Nasdaq's up 101. The Pentagon is reviewing a partnership with a major AI developer.
Anthropic, the firm behind the AI model Claude, is facing potential backlash from the Pentagon following questions about the use of its technology during the raid to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro last month. A Pentagon spokesman says the relationship is being reviewed because the nation requires partners to be willing to help warfighters in any fight. Anthropic won a $200 million contract with the Pentagon last year. The company disputes the characterization, saying there was no discussion about the use of Claude for specific operations, and conversations were focused on limits around fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News.
Two famous female fighters are coming out of retirement to fight each other. It's former champion and Olympic medalist Ronda Rousey against fighter-turned-action movie star Gina Carano on May 16th for the first live MMA fight on Netflix.
