LIVE: White House briefing after Powell speech, judge's contempt warning over deportations

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt holds a briefing after a judge said Trump administration officials could face criminal contempt charges for violating a federal judge's order halting deportations of alleged members of a Venezuelan gang who had no chance to challenge their removals. The briefing also comes after Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said the Fed would wait for more data on the economy's direction before changing interest rates, and characterized recent market volatility as a logical processing of the Trump administration's dramatic shifts in tariff policy.
