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.
