| 0:00.0 | Good Tuesday morning, I'm Jake Sherman and welcome to your Politico Playbook audio briefing sponsored by |
| 0:06.0 | Farma. And I'm Anna Palmer. Could a Trump trip to Camp David be in the works? The FAA has put flight |
| 0:12.7 | restrictions over Camp David for this weekend. This has happened before and Trump hasn't headed |
| 0:17.9 | to the presidential retreat, but it is spring. It's really quiet at 1600 Pennsylvania these days. Today is the second day in a row |
| 0:24.9 | Trump has had a very, very slim down public schedule. The White House says his only action |
| 0:29.9 | item is a meeting with National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster. Politico is put in the man-hours |

| 1:17.5 | Trump's transition of power for Politico emailed us the backstory on the database. |
| 1:22.4 | The White House refuses to publicly release its visitors' logs so Politico created its own, he wrote. |
| 1:28.4 | Using pool reports, media accounts, and our own sourcing in Trump world, a team of Politico |

| 1:43.6 | Breaking early this morning, the AP has a story on the Trump administration taking the |
