President Donald Trump faced rare opposition from key Republican lawmakers after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell accused the Department of Justice of launching a grand jury investigation to pressure and intimidate the central bank.

Senator Thom Tillis, a key Republican on the Banking Committee who isn’t running for reelection, vowed quickly Sunday night to oppose any Trump nominees to the Fed until the matter is resolved.

Powell Probe Sparks GOP Backlash

Analysis that Justice Department subpoenas on the Federal Reserve -- similar to President Donald Trump's bid to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook -- is unlikely to succeed led Bloomberg Intelligence's Jan. 12 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. BI Senior Litigation Analyst Elliott Stein discussed how a criminal conviction, and perhaps even an indictment, is unlikely. We also showed how we think Trump's desire for a 10% cap on credit card interest is unlikely to succeed, but pressure will remain on companies like Capital One, Synchrony, Mastercard and Visa. Finally, we previewed planned crypto Senate markups.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.

Moderate Republicans are nearing a deal to extend enhanced Obamacare tax credits that they say could pass the House and Senate.

House lawmakers will vote on a three-year clean extension later Thursday after Democrats and a handful of Republicans forced House leaders’ hands through a discharge petition. Senate negotiators expect to modify that bill and say they’re close on the specifics.

President Donald Trump said he would move to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes, part of a push to address housing affordability ahead of this year’s midterm elections.

“People live in homes, not corporations,” Trump said in a social media post Wednesday announcing the effort, adding that he would expound on the plan at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later this month.

The news sent shares of homebuilders, including Toll Brothers Inc., Invitation Homes Inc., KB Home and PulteGroup Inc., down. Shares of Blackstone Inc. — a major investor in single-family homes in the US —fell by as much as 9.3%, though later pared some of those losses.

President Donald Trump asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio to lead the process to implement economic and political reforms in Venezuela and the US believes it is getting “full, complete and total” cooperation from the government in Caracas after the capture of Nicolas Maduro, White House senior adviser Stephen Miller said Monday.

Trump requested Rubio “under the president’s close guidance and direction, to be the lead on this process,” Miller told reporters at the White House. The secretary of State will lead a team that includes officials working on energy, financial, and military policy, he added.

Rubio Tapped for Venezuela Overhaul, House Returns from Recess

A discussion with Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Defense Analyst Wayne Sanders about how the US arrest of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro is unlikely to alter US defense-spending for companies like Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics led Bloomberg Intelligence's Jan. 5 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. Among the topics of discussion included the likelihood of extending enhanced Obamacare subsidies, the odds of a government shutdown and the timing for a Supreme Court decision on the legality of tariffs. We also discussed why odds of a crypto bill could decrease if Congress doesn't show much progress and how important it is for firms like Coinbase and Robinhood.

Trump Eyes Venezuela Oil Control

President Donald Trump said the US would run Venezuela until a transition could be organized, hours after a US operation captured leader Nicolás Maduro, ousting the strongman from power after months of mounting military and economic pressure on his regime.
“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said Saturday at a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. “So we don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in, and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years.”
Trump said the US administration of Venezuela would include deploying US oil companies to the country, though indicated that his embargo “on all Venezuelan oil remains in full effect” and that US forces would stay on alert.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he expects to meet with US President Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday in pursuit of a deal to end Russia’s nearly four-year invasion.
Zelenskiy told reporters on Friday that he’d discuss sensitive issues with Trump including the future of the Donbas region in Ukraine’s east and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

The Ukrainian leader said he plans to refine Kyiv’s agreements with the US to the maximum extent possible, potentially as soon as Sunday’s discussions, while the comprehensive 20-point peace plan would then require input from Russia and Europe.For now, Ukraine has no direct communication with Moscow, Zelenskiy said, adding that his country’s framework deal with the US was “almost ready” and signing it would depend on the meeting with Trump.

Zelenskiy said he’d like European leaders to be present online during his meetings with the US.
Meanwhile, the US launched a Christmas Day military strike in Nigeria against Islamic State targets in a security and intelligence collaboration with the African nation’s government, which has been struggling to contain increasing levels of terrorist attacks in parts of the country.

 • Laura Davison, Bloomberg Washington Deputy Bureau Chief
