Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy.

President Donald Trump ordered the US Navy to shoot any boat putting mines in the Strait of Hormuz and vowed to step up efforts to clear the critical energy waterway amid a standoff with Iran.
“I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump said in a social media post on Thursday. “There is to be no hesitation.”

Trump’s comments come amid an extended ceasefire between the US and Iran that has left the strait largely shuttered. The US is maintaining a blockade on vessels going to and from Iranian ports, while Tehran is choking off the flow of international traffic.

The Department of Justice ended its investigation into the Federal Reserve and its chair Jerome Powell over building costs, handing it over to the office of the inspector general that oversees the Fed. 

“I have directed my office to close our investigation as the IG undertakes this inquiry,” US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro wrote in a statement, “Note well, however, that I will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so.” 

The move clears a potential path for Senate confirmation of Kevin Warsh, Trump’s pick to take over as chair of the federal reserve.

President Donald Trump announced he was extending a ceasefire with Iran indefinitely a day before it was set to expire, even as plans for a fresh round of talks between the two countries fell apart.

In a Truth Social post, Trump said Tuesday he would maintain a blockade over ships coming to and from Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. He said Pakistan, which had mediated between the two sides, asked for the US to hold off on fresh strikes and he was extending the ceasefire until Iran submits a new proposal “and discussions are concluded, one way or the other.”
