Intro

As President Donald Trump travels to the U.K. this morning, the conversation in the U.S. remains focused on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death. FBI Director Kash Patel is set to appear for a Senate hearing this morning, where he’ll likely face questions over his credibility in light of his response to the investigation. Meanwhile, Kirk’s death is spurring Republicans to go after what they have deemed the “radical left” over the response to Kirk’s death. Playbook’s Jack Blanchard and Adam Wren unpack the stakes and what to expect next. Plus, the Federal Reserve's highly anticipated meeting begins this morning.
