YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

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.
