'I would think that somebody would go through the same matter if it would happen to me,' Crawford said.
With lots of land and feed ready, he said he can give a free temporary home to cows, horses, goats, and other livestock, as they might need shelter while barns and fences are being rebuilt.
He also knows many farmers may not have time to tend to livestock because they have so many other things to deal with. He is even offering to help get the animals to his farm in Girdler.
'They can be there with me when I pick it up; they can follow me home with it so they know where it's going. That way, if they want to come and see it every day, that's fine,' Crawford said.
He is not the only one offering this level of kindness; employees of the Corbin Animal Clinic were at the Corbin-London Airport earlier this week, providing vet care and distributing resources, and are continuing this work.

'We were already going to do like X-rays, exams, things like that for free, but now we're able to do any kind of other vetting for free. So we have a lot of broken legs coming in, so we're able to do everything that they need, from pain meds to get the leg splinted, antibiotics, things like that,' Ashley Osborne, a vet tech at the clinic, said.
Both say they are here for folks as long as they need it.
'So we're going to see that through as much as we can, and it's obviously still going to be free for the owners at that point,' Osborne said.
Crawford said, 'If it's something that's going to be a while, I'll pick up the extra hay fields and cut the extra hay and put out the extra corn until they are able to get back on their feet.'

Inside the Biden cover-up probe: 8 aides questioned, more on the way
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., is investigating whether former President Joe Biden's closest aides worked to conceal evidence of mental decline in the octogenarian Democrat during his White House term, and whether an autopen was used for executive decisions without his knowledge. Biden himself asserted to the New York Times that he "made every decision" regarding autopen pardons specifically, and his allies have dismissed the GOP-led probe as a partisan show. Several ex-senior White House officials are due in the coming weeks, including former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and ex-White House chief of staff Jeff Zeints. But Comer's staff have also met with a number of people so far – some who have said very little, while others have given no information at all. Below are the eight people who have sat down with House investigators so far: Former White House staff secretary Neera Tanden appeared for a voluntary interview on June 24. A source familiar with Tanden's interview said she described having "minimal interaction" with Biden during her sit-down with investigators. Tanden also said she would submit requests for autopen signatures to members of Biden's team, but was not aware of what actions or approvals occurred between the time she sent the memo and the time she received it back with the president's approval, the source said. Tanden's lawyer told Fox News at the time that she "consistently followed a protocol" that was used by both Republican and Democratic administrations in the past. "That same protocol existed in the Clinton and Obama administrations, which Ms. Tanden learned in discussions with previous staff secretaries from those administrations. She further understood and believed that the same process was followed in the Trump 1 and Bush administrations," the lawyer said. Tanden had been tapped to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) early in Biden's term, but she withdrew after bipartisan pushback in the Senate. Former White House physician Kevin O'Connor was the second ex-Biden administration official to appear when he came in on July 9, and the first to appear under subpoena. Before serving as White House doctor, however, O'Connor was known to be a close associate of the Biden family for years. Investigators were hoping to learn whether O'Connor knowingly obscured signs of advanced aging or loss of mental acuity in Biden. He notably met with a Parkinson's Disease expert at the White House at one point, according to the New York Times – though the revelations were downplayed by the White House at the time. O'Connor's lawyers had attempted to delay his scheduled deposition date over concerns that the scope of the committee's investigation would violate doctor-patient confidentiality. He ultimately did appear when Comer rejected his delay request, but O'Connor was in and out of the committee room in less than an hour after pleading the Fifth Amendment to all questions, save for his name. Ashley Williams is a longtime Biden advisor who still works for the former president, according to her LinkedIn. She appeared for a voluntary transcribed interview on July 11. The close Biden ally's time with him goes back to assisting then-second lady Jill Biden during the Obama administration, according to a 2019 profile of Biden staffers. She served as his trip director for the 2020 campaign before being hired to the White House as deputy director of Oval Office Operations and a special assistant to the president. Williams repeatedly told committee staff during her sit-down that she did not "recall" various things "an untold number of times," but that she believed Biden was fit to be president today, a source told Fox News Digital. "Examples include she could not recall if she spoke with President Biden in the last week, if teleprompters were used for Cabinet meetings, if there were discussions about President Biden using a wheelchair, if there were discussions about a cognitive test, if she discussed a mental or physical decline of President Biden, if she ever had to wake President Biden up and how she got involved with his 2020 campaign," the source said. Anthony Bernal, who was nicknamed Jill Biden's "work husband" for their close relationship, was the second person subpoenaed to appear. Like O'Connor, Bernal's July 16 deposition lasted less than an hour after he pleaded the Fifth Amendment to investigators. Bernal served as former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the First Lady. He also still appears to work for the Bidens, according to LinkedIn, which says he works for Jill Biden specifically. "During his deposition today, Mr. Bernal pleaded the Fifth when asked if any unelected official or family members executed the duties of the President and if Joe Biden ever instructed him to lie about his health," Comer said in a statement after Bernal's deposition. Former Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations Annie Tomasini had been scheduled to appear for a transcribed interview, before her counsel requested a subpoena from Comer shortly before her July 18 appearance. Tomasini followed O'Connor and Bernal's lead in pleading the Fifth Amendment, which people coming in voluntarily cannot do. "During her deposition today, Ms. Tomasini pleaded the Fifth when asked if Joe Biden, a member of his family, or anyone at the White House instructed her to lie regarding his health at any time," Comer said in a statement after her deposition. "She also pleaded the Fifth when asked if she ever advised President Biden on the handling of classified documents found in his garage, if President Biden or anyone in the White House instructed her to conceal or destroy classified material found at President Biden's home or office, and if she ever conspired with anyone in the White House to hide information regarding the Biden family's 'business' dealings." She first worked for Biden as a press secretary when he chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as a U.S. senator from Delaware. Ron Klain served as Biden's chief of staff for the first two years of his White House term and played a key role in preparing him for his disastrous 2024 presidential debate against former President Donald Trump. Klain told investigators that he believed Biden's memory got worse over time, but he still had the ability to govern, a source familiar with his interview told Fox News Digital. The source said Klain also claimed to have heard concerns about Biden's political viability from both former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Biden's own national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, by 2024, though it's not clear if those concerns are tied to his mental acuity nor that they spoke to Klain together. A spokesperson for Sullivan vehemently denied the account. Klain also told investigators that Biden appeared tired and ill before the 2024 debate, the source said. In a letter requesting his appearance, Comer quoted Klain as cutting Biden's debate prep short last year, "due to the president's fatigue and lack of familiarity with the subject matter," adding that Biden "didn't really understand what his argument was on inflation," citing a POLITICO report from earlier this year. Former counselor to the president Steve Ricchetti sat down with House investigators earlier this week on voluntary terms. Unlike the vast majority of others before him, who did not acknowledge media gathered outside the committee room, Ricchetti told Fox News' Chad Pergram that "of course" Biden was up to the job of president. Ricchetti's interview was also the longest by far – running roughly eight hours on Wednesday. A source familiar with Ricchetti's sitdown described him as "combative and defensive" during exchanges with House Oversight staff. Ricchetti asserted he had personal relationships with Jill Biden and Hunter Biden in addition to the former president, the source said. His own family had relationships with the Biden administration as well – three of his four children worked in the Treasury, State Department and in the White House. The longtime Democratic operative and lobbyist was one of two longtime trusted aides reportedly with Biden in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, when he drafted his bombshell letter announcing he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Former senior advisor to the president Mike Donilon is the latest member of Biden's inner circle to appear before House investigators, sitting down with them voluntarily on Thursday for roughly five hours. Donilon first began working for Biden in 1981 as a pollster when Biden was the junior U.S. senator from Delaware. Alongside Ricchetti, he was one of two Biden aides who were present when he drafted his announcement dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Donilon told investigators he received $4 million to work for Biden's 2024 re-election campaign and would have gotten $4 million more if Biden had won, a source told Fox News Digital. He staunchly defended Biden during his interview, the source said, accusing Democrats of overreacting in the wake of Biden's debate. Donilon told investigators Biden is "a leader who was deeply engaged and in command on critical issues," according to his opening statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "Every president ages over the four years of a presidency and President Biden did as well, but he also continued to grow stronger and wiser as a leader as a result of being tested by some of the most difficult challenges any president has ever faced," Donilon said.

House GOP offers to postpone Ghislaine Maxwell deposition as Supreme Court weighs her appeal
The chair of the House Oversight Committee said Friday he's willing to postpone convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition until the Supreme Court reviews the appeal she filed in her criminal case. Maxwell, a longtime friend and associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted in 2021 on five federal counts related to sex trafficking. The committee, which is chaired by Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, subpoenaed Maxwell last week, ordering her to sit for a deposition on Aug. 11. The move came as the Trump administration faces bipartisan scrutiny over its handling of the Epstein case, with lawmakers calling on the government to release records on Maxwell and Epstein. In a letter to Maxwell obtained by CBS News, Comer said the committee is "willing to delay" the Aug. 11 deposition date while the Supreme Court weighs taking up her case. Maxwell — who is serving a 20-year prison sentence — is challenging her conviction, arguing she should've been covered by a non-prosecution deal that federal prosecutors in Florida offered to Epstein and any co-conspirators almost two decades ago. The Supreme Court indicated this week it will consider whether to hear Maxwell's case in September, and Comer said her deposition can take place after the court decides on whether to take the case. Comer also said the committee will "engage in good faith negotiations" around the deposition, but is "unwilling to grant you congressional immunity" and will not send her its questions in advance — rejecting two requests by Maxwell's attorney. Her lawyer, David Oscar Markus, told the committee earlier this week she will plead the Fifth at her deposition unless she's granted immunity or President Trump pardons her, arguing that any testimony to Congress could endanger her appeal to the Supreme Court. The oversight panel said in a statement this week it would not consider giving Maxwell immunity. Last week, Maxwell sat for a separate two-day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Markus said his client was "asked maybe about 100 different people" and "answered questions about everybody." And in recent days, Maxwell was transferred from a low-security prison in Florida to a smaller, all-female minimum-security facility in Texas, CBS News learned Friday. No reason was given for the move, which outraged some Epstein and Maxwell accusers. The Trump administration has faced weeks of fallout since the Justice Department and FBI published a review of Epstein's case that stood by the finding that the accused sex trafficker died by suicide in 2019 and didn't have an incriminating "client list." Critics, including some Trump loyalists, weren't satisfied by the review's findings and are demanding more information. The administration responded last month by asking judges to unseal grand jury transcripts from Maxwell's and Epstein's criminal cases. A Florida judge rejected a request to unseal transcripts from Epstein's case in the 2000s, and requests to release materials from Epstein and Maxwell's 2019 and 2020 cases are still being considered by judges in New York. Mr. Trump has encouraged his followers to drop the matter, referring to it as a "hoax."Scott MacFarlane contributed to this report.

Comer OKs delay for Ghislaine Maxwell's congressional testimony, denies immunity request
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is delaying Ghislaine Maxwell's planned deposition until after the Supreme Court weighs her request to overturn her conviction, according to a letter obtained by Fox News Digital. Committee investigators were set to travel to a Tallahassee prison for an Aug. 11 sit-down with Maxwell after lawmakers voted to subpoena her over her close ties to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter sent to Comer earlier this week, Maxwell's lawyer claimed she "did not receive a fair trial" and petitioned to delay the deposition date until after her case before the Supreme Court was resolved. "On July 30, the U.S. Supreme Court noticed that your petition for writ of certiorari will be considered at its conference on September 29. In light of this notice, the Committee is willing to delay your deposition until a date following the Court's certiorari determination," Comer wrote on Friday. According to the Kentucky Republican's letter, Maxwell's lawyer warned she would invoke the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering any questions unless certain conditions were met. "These conditions include: (1) a grant of immunity, (2) the deposition occurring outside of FCI Tallahassee, (3) access to the Committee's questions in advance, and (4) the conclusion of your recent appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and potential future habeas petition," Comer wrote. He denied her requests for congressional immunity and to get the questions in advance, but wrote the committee would continue to "engage in good faith negotiations." Comer also vowed the committee would honor its "long-standing practice of engaging in forthright and detailed discussions about scoping." The subpoena was issued to Maxwell after a unanimous vote by both Republicans and Democrats on the committee in late July. The motion to subpoena Maxwell was offered by Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn. "Your testimony is vital to the Committee's efforts regarding Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, including the 2007 non-prosecution agreement and the circumstances surrounding Mr. Epstein's death," Comer wrote. "These investigative efforts may be used to inform potential legislation to improve federal efforts to combat sex trafficking and reform the use of non-prosecution agreements and/or plea agreements in sex-crime investigations." The letter comes hours after Fox News learned Maxwell was transferred from Florida to a federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas. Congressional investigators are looking to speak with Maxwell over her longstanding close ties to Epstein, who was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges when he died by suicide at a jail in New York City in 2019. Maxwell herself was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022 "for her role in a scheme to sexual exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade," according to a press release by the Southern District of New York. In the delay request, Maxwell's attorney argued that "Any testimony she provides now could compromise her constitutional rights, prejudice her legal claims, and potentially taint a future jury pool." Maxwell already met with federal investigators last week when Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche sat down with her in Tallahassee at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Bondi said in a statement announcing the meeting, "President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If Ghislaine Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say." Maxwell's lawyers told Fox News in response to Comer's letter, "We acknowledge Chairman Comer's letter and appreciate the Committee's willingness to delay Ms. Maxwell's deposition while her case is pending before the Supreme Court. We will continue to engage with Congress in good faith to find a way for Ms. Maxwell to share her information without compromising her constitutional right."
