Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate was searched by federal agents on Monday morning in what an outside expert called a "major escalation" of one of the investigations he faces. Trump, who was not present for Monday's search, said in a statement that the agents obtained access to his safe as they executed the search warrant. Law enforcement experts unconnected to the case called the raid a notable step forward in the federal probe -- which appears to trace back to a National Archives referral to the Department of Justice reported early this year -- and they explained the significance of federal search warrants and what they indicate about the general timeline of a case.

While still elevated, price hikes waned from the near-historic pace reached in June, giving hope to policymakers and consumers that inflation has peaked. The consumer price index, or CPI, rose 8.5% year-over-year in July, a marked slowdown from 9.1% in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

One person is dead and five others seriously injured after a bus overturned on the New Jersey Turnpike Tuesday, according to state police.

With Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy retiring after 48 years in office and the state's only representative, Peter Welch, hoping to fill his Senate seat after 16 years in the House, Vermonters are virtually certain to send a woman to Congress for the first time in the state's history -- with ABC News projecting that state Sen. Becca Balint will win her primary race on Tuesday. Vermont, despite its progressive reputation among many given how Sen. Bernie Sanders towers over the local political landscape, is the last state in the nation to send a woman to Washington, partly because it's had fewer opportunities with men like Leahy, Sanders and Welch serving for long stretches in the mere three congressional seats.
Police in Washington, D.C., are investigating a suspected hate crime after two men were punched by assailants who hurled a gay slur at them while referencing monkeypox, according to a police report.

Mayor Muriel Bowser said she was "extremely disturbed by the reported hate crime."

Kyle Hartsock told reporters at Tuesday's news conference.
Donald Trump and other top GOP leaders issued swift responses to the former president's announcement on Monday that his Mar-a-Lago Club was subject to an FBI raid, which appears to be focused on "many pages of classified documents" that Trump reportedly took with him upon leaving the White House. Many Republicans rallied around Trump's unproven claims that the FBI's raid was political in nature, intended to "weaponize" bureaucratic agencies against Republicans and stunt his chances at throwing his hat back in the political ring. "It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don't want me to run in 2024," Trump wrote in his announcement of the Mar-a-Lago FBI raid on Monday night.
