Of course, the town of Anaconda has just been a gut punch as there have been four citizens there that were murdered, the bartender and three patrons on Friday. But Michael Brown, as you described, was suffering mental [illness]. He went in and shot those four in that bar, and then he fled just west of Anaconda. I mean, this is a local. He knows the territory well, but I\u2019m very proud of law enforcement. We\u2019ve got the FBI. We\u2019ve got our county sheriffs across multiple counties, as well as highway patrol resources and others that have got a perimeter around him. We\u2019re hoping that we will bring him and apprehend him, bring him to justice soon. But he\u2019s hiding just west of Anaconda. And we pray for the safety of those brave men and women who are operating a 24/7 operation. They\u2019re using infrared cameras. They\u2019ve got dogs. They\u2019ve had a few hits with the dogs. I\u2019m hopeful that very shortly our law enforcement is going to get this guy and apprehend him and bring him out.\n\nThere\u2019s no problem with our national parks. They\u2019re fine. We know where this guy is at. I\u2019m getting regular updates from local law enforcement that are right there on the front lines. We know where he\u2019s at. We\u2019ve got a good perimeter around him at the moment. We\u2019re going to bring this guy out one way or the other. Dead or alive, we\u2019re going to get him. I\u2019m very confident, but it\u2019s located in a very tight radius just outside the town of Anaconda, just in South West Montana.\n\nDaines on the DOJ\u2019s Russiagate investigation:\n\nLook, this is a serious matter. The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has issued a criminal referral to the Attorney General of the United States. I can\u2019t tell you, and we can\u2019t all say how many times we heard the Democrats talking about President Trump and Russia and interference in the elections by the Russians to help President Trump. President Trump said without stuttering, over and over again, these are lies. This is nonsense. I hope justice will finally prevail and President Trump will be exonerated by the Justice Department, perhaps a grand jury, as we see what the truth is behind these lies spread by the Democrats, this collusion theory between the Russians and President Trump in this election, 2016.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:57:50Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.daines.senate.gov/2025/08/04/daines-gives-update-on-montana-manhunt/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9698430076241493, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
