It appear that BLS made a big judgment error in its shelter calculation (effectively assuming 0 in October), leading to inflation understated.
It is, however, very unlikely this error was political. If anything the opposite: they stuck to algorithm rather than using judgment.

"U.S. inflation has remained stubbornly above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, partly because of President Donald Trump’s decision to impose double-digit taxes on imports from almost every country on earth along with targeted tariffs on specific products like steel, aluminum and autos."
U.S. inflation decelerated unexpectedly last month according to new data that had been delayed by the government shutdown.

"All of the November data was collected after the government reopened in mid-November. That means that more of the prices came during “Black Friday” sales than they would in a normal year."
U.S. consumer prices were up 2.7 percent from a year earlier in November. "Core" prices, excluding volatile food and fuel, were up 2.6 percent.
Be very cautious with these numbers, though. Shutdown distortions may have biased them down.
