Summary

The deadline for the Justice Department to unseal a redacted version of the affidavit used to secure the FBI warrant for the Mar-a-Lago search is noon today (absent a last-minute appeal).  Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein: Judge Bruce Reinhart “emphasized that prosecutors had shown ‘good cause’ to redact elements of the affidavit that would reveal ‘the identities of witnesses, law enforcement agents, and uncharged parties,’ ‘the investigation’s strategy, direction, scope, sources, and methods’ and ‘grand jury information.’ And Victoria Guida joins from Jackson Hole, Wyo.: “Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will face a room of economists and a world of observers as he aims to send a message that the central bank will not falter in its fight to bring down inflation. One bit of awkwardness that might make his task harder: Powell last year at the same conference predicted that price spikes were likely to be temporary. (They were not.)” Subscribe to the POLITICO Playbook newsletter Raghu Manavalan is the Host of POLITICO's Playbook.Jenny Ament is the Executive Producer of POLITICO Audio.
