.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is holding a press briefing on Wednesday at approximately 4:30 p.m.

Leavitt teased the event by saying it will feature a “special guest.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) announced on Wednesday that California is filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration to challenge President Donald Trump’s authority to issue tariffs without congressional approval.

The suit will argue that Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which grants the president increased powers during an economic emergency, to impose tariffs is unlawful and requires congressional approval.

The briefing also comes as U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Wednesday found probable cause to hold administration officials in criminal contempt, saying they violated his orders by not returning planes of Venezuelan migrants the administration rushed to deport on March 15.
