HARLOW: An amazing rescue this morning. Two American women and their dogs found alive after being stranded at sea for five months. American Navy Sailors rescued them thousands of miles off the coast of Tahiti in the Pacific Ocean. They were headed for Tahiti from Hawaii, but their engine failed along the way. Let's go to the Pentagon. Our Ryan Browne is there. Incredible good news story this Friday.</s>RYAN BROWNE, CNN PENTAGON REPORTER: It is. It is a great news story, Poppy. And, you know, this crew aboard the USS Ashland, a U.S. Navy amphibious vessel, was able to aid the rescue and recovery of these two people and their two dogs after they encountered some serious trouble five months ago. They lost their engine. And we got to hear from one of those -- the rescued party, Jennifer Appel, who described some of the challenges they faced before being rescued 900 miles off the coast of Japan.</s>JENNIFER APPEL, RESCUED AT SEA: We made some modifications in order to proceed, but we could not go more than about four to five knots. So we had limited capability to maneuver. We probably had less than 24 hours before our boat sank. It was incredibly emotional and it was -- it was so satisfying to know the men and women that serve our country would come and assist us.</s>BROWNE: Now they were -- fortunately they had stockpiled a lot of food aboard their vessel. That's how they were able to be out there for five months before being rescued and found by a Taiwanese fishing vessel actually. So a very good news story out there in the Pacific Ocean. These two folks and their two dogs being rescued by the U.S. Navy. Poppy.</s>HARLOW: Five months. Five months' worth of food, enough for them and their dogs. That's incredible. Thank goodness. Ryan Browne, thank you for that. Ahead, a rare move by the White House. President Trump himself calling in a request, asking, supporting a request for a gag order to be lifted on a confidential FBI informant. Why is that so significant? Ahead.
