The White House is assessing its security measures after the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday night. The White House is expected to convene a meeting of top administration officials to discuss safety procedures for the president and decide if additional measures need to be taken. President Trump has also called for backing of his White House ballroom project in the wake of the attack. 

“We’re always monitoring operations and procedures, always asking the tough questions to ensure the president is safe,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters during a Monday briefing. “We’re always looking for ways to improve security.”

The White House also came out strongly against violent rhetoric, claiming it is the cause of political violence against the President.

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 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.

      <link>https://assets.bwbx.io/av/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/vjKl9muZnm1k/v6.mp3</link>
      <description>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.”

      <description>A preview of Kevin Warsh's nomination hearing at the Senate Banking Committee to become the next chairman of the Federal Reserve led Bloomberg Intelligence's April 20 Washington Policy Pulse. While Warsh likely has the votes, Senator Thom Tillis will probably stick to his vow not to advance Warsh until an investigation into the Fed is resolved. We also discussed upcoming testimony from US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and the likelihood of future tariffs. Finally, we discussed ongoing efforts to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement via the reconciliation process. Instructions for a deal around $75 billion could be released as soon as tomorrow.

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.

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 said Iran has agreed to suspend its nuclear program indefinitely, fueling optimism that a deal to end their war is in reach after Tehran announced the Strait of Hormuz was open again.

In a Friday phone interview, Trump asserted that any moratorium on Iran’s nuclear activities would not expire, saying it would be “unlimited.” Talks over a lasting agreement will “probably” be held this weekend, the president said.

“Most of the main points are finalized. It’ll go pretty quickly,” Trump said. He also denied that the US would release any frozen funds to Iran — a key demand of the regime that he and his supporters have long decried.

Details of any potential deal remained murky and Iran has yet to comment on Trump’s claim, which is virtually certain to go against its longstanding insistence that it has the right to enrich uranium.

      <description>A review of Congressional plans for 2026 -- including funding the Department of Homeland Security, anticipated war powers resolutions tied to the Iranian conflict and defense spending outlooks -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's April 13 version of the Washington Policy Pulse. A reconciliation bill focused on specific funds for the DHS doesn't have much market impact, in our view, but debates over crypto, housing, and farming will continue throughout 2026. We also provided an update on Kevin Warsh's nomination hearing at the Senate Banking Committee and why a recent delay shouldn't be much of a concern.

      <title>Instant Reaction: US-Iran Agree to Ceasefire (Podcast)</title>
      <link>https://assets.bwbx.io/av/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/vrhGycecuBPc/v6.mp3</link>
      <description>The US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire that’s expected to halt the American-Israeli military campaign in exchange for Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump announced the agreement Tuesday on social media hours after Pakistan, a mediator in talks, implored the US leader to back off his deadline to unleash massive devastation on Iran if it did not meet his demands. The deal buys time for the two sides to reach a longer agreement to end the six-week-old war, which has killed thousands of people and sparked a global energy crisis.

Trump said he had agreed “to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks” as long as Iran agrees to “the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz.”

For instant reaction and analysis, Bloomberg Radio host Doug Krizner speaks with:

Bloomberg State Department and Foreign Policy Reporter Eric Martin
Bloomberg This Weekend co-host Christina Ruffini
Bloomberg White House and Washington correspondent Jeff Mason
Terry Haines, founder of Pangea Policy

      <description>A review of President Donald Trump's fiscal year 2027 budget request -- and the implications for the defense sector given the White House's $1.5 trillion ask for national security -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's April 6 version of the Washington Policy Pulse. While White House budget requests are never fully implemented by Congress, Trump's goal of $350 billion in additional funding for the Iranian conflict could come during another round of reconciliation. We also dove into the latest on efforts to re-open the Department of Homeland Security and previewed the funding fights for the rest of 2026.

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.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration</description>

      <title>Instant Reaction: Trump Threatens Iran Escalation (Podcast)</title>
      <link>https://assets.bwbx.io/av/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/vlBJvz6.9zuI/v6.mp3</link>
      <description>President Donald Trump said the war in Iran is “very close” to completion, even as he signaled strikes could escalate in the near term.  

Trump in a rare prime-time address on Wednesday cast the war as a success, saying the operation had nearly achieved its military goals, including destroying Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, air force, navy and industrial base. He said those steps would prevent Tehran’s proxies from destabilizing the region and cut off the country’s path to nuclear weapons.

“Tonight I’m pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion,” Trump said from the White House in a roughly 20-minute speech. “We are going to finish the job. and we’re going to finish it very fast, we’re getting very close.”

The speech came as the president is grasping for an off-ramp in a conflict that has quickly slipped out of control. 

For instant reaction and analysis, Bloomberg Radio host Doug Krizner speaks with Bloomberg This Weekend co-host Christina Ruffini and Bloomberg White House and Washington correspondent Jeff Mason.</description>

      <description>An update of reports that the US and Iran are engaged in indirect negotiations over the conflict -- as well as the outlook for a potential $200 billion supplemental defense package -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on March 23. While a defense package would benefit contractors like Lockheed Martin, we expect Congress to slow walk any ask. We also discussed forthcoming legislation seeking to ban prediction markets, as well as the Fed's recent Basel III endgame rule, which we expect will lower capital requirements for banks like JPMorgan and Bank of America. Finally, we reviewed the White House's policy framework on artificial intelligence.

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.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration</description>

      <description>President Donald Trump's options towards the Iran conflict -- with a focus on the US midterms and the political calculus of his decisions -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on March 16. Bloomberg News reports that despite Trump's call for a coalition of ships to guard the Strait of Hormuz, several countries have yet to commit support. We also discussed the upcoming Basel III Endgame proposal, set for release this week, and how it will work in conjunction with other rules. Other areas of focus include a proposal on stablecoins and the CFTC's new actions on prediction markets. We ended with an update of Kevin Warsh's nomination as Fed Chair.

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.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration</description>

      <link>https://assets.bwbx.io/av/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/vrC61SOTfK8E/v6.mp3</link>
      <description>A preview of the House Republican annual retreat starting on March 9 led the March 9 edition of Bloomberg Intelligence’s Washington Policy Pulse.

      <link>https://assets.bwbx.io/av/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/vsioVvtkRfVc/v8.mp3</link>
      <description>A briefing on the current state of the US-Iran conflict, with a focus on the defense contractors like Lockheed, RTX and Northrop, led the March 2 edition of Bloomberg Intelligence’s Washington Policy Pulse. Senior Industry Analyst Wayne Sanders discussed how the attack on Iran is likely to be a limited engagement relying primarily on air and naval assets, supporting increased US investment in those assets. We also discussed how we think Congress is unlikely to authorize -- or block -- President Donald Trump's tariff strategy and gave a timing update on the future of the Basel III endgame, set to impact Bank of America, Citigroup and other large banks.

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. 

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration</description>

      <title>Instant Reaction: State of the Union 2026 (Podcast)</title>
      <link>https://assets.bwbx.io/av/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/vA0bafClNfvE/v6.mp3</link>
      <description>President Donald Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address of the television age Tuesday, declaring “a turnaround for the ages” as he tried to sell Americans on his economic program ahead of crucial midterm elections later this year.

The speech had all the ceremony, confrontation and chaos that have come to define the event in an era of narrow congressional majorities and partisan polarization. Democratic Representative Al Green was ejected from the chamber for disrupting the speech. Trump invited the gold-medal-winning men’s Olympic hockey team into the gallery amid chants of “USA! USA! USA!” He awarded several medals honoring veterans and active-duty service members.

And in more than 1 hour 47 minutes, the longest State of the Union in history, the president delivered a rally-like speech punctuated less by policy proposals than by political attacks.

      <description>A discussion of the Supreme Court's Feb. 20 ruling that the tariffs utilized by President Donald Trump under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act were unlawful -- and what is next after Trump has signaled a 15% tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act -- led Bloomberg Intelligence’s Feb. 23 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. Senior Litigation Analyst Holly Froum also discussed the likelihood for refunds for firms like Amazon, Walmart and Apple. We also previewed Trump's Feb. 24 State of the Union address with a focus on affordability and headline risk for firms like Bank of America and Blackstone. 

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.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration</description>

      <description>Trump's Push on Housing Costs, DHS: BI Washington Policy Pulse

A discussion of President Donald Trump's path on affordability -- including a look at housing-related legislation that could pass the House as soon as this week -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Feb. 9 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. A potential antitrust probe into US homebuilders by the Trump Administration is likely more bark than bite. We also discussed the likelihood of a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security -- which in our view is unlikely to have any impact on markets or equities. Finally, we gave a status update on cryptocurrency legislation and tariffs. 

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.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration</description>

      <link>https://assets.bwbx.io/av/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/v5evSVndqNAY/v6.mp3</link>
      <description>Our view that the US government partial shutdown will likely end this week -- with the bulk of the US government funded for the rest of the fiscal year -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Feb. 2 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. We also discussed the confirmation process and how it could play out for President Donald Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh to be the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve, especially in light of Senator Thom Tillis's desire to block the nomination at the Senate Banking Committee. Finally, we discussed upcoming testimony from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on regulation for banks like Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo.

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.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration</description>

      <description>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.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration</description>

      <description>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.

      <description>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.

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. 

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.

The Justice Department’s long-awaited rollout of the Jeffrey Epstein files has been a chaotic spectacle that, so far, has largely turned the spotlight back to his previously known associates, including President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton, while fueling frustrations.

As of Tuesday evening in Washington, the DOJ had released thousands of pages of heavily redacted records and photos — mostly in two batches several days apart — stemming from investigations of the convicted sex offender. On Wednesday, it said prosecutors in New York identified 1 million more documents potentially related to the probe and that processing the material “may take a few more weeks.”

Already, there have been technical snafus, and reversals on whether to keep certain pages public. Internet sleuths quickly found ways to see through some blacked-out passages.

On this edition, Joe speaks with:
Erik Larson, Bloomberg News legal reporter
James Zirin, Former Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York
Lisa Camooso Miller, Senior Vice President at ROKK Solutions, Former RNC Spokesperson and Republican Strategist &amp; Jeanne Sheehan Zaino, Democracy Visiting Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center and Bloomberg Politics Contributor

The US Justice Department released another tranche of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, including some that add fresh pressure on President Donald Trump over his past relationship with the late, disgraced financier.

The trove includes thousands of additional pages of material related to investigations of Epstein, including a 2020 email from a prosecutor that contains new detail about Trump’s trips on Epstein’s private jet in the 1990s, which the president has said never took place. There are also fresh details on Epstein’s relationships with financial firms and figures.

Epstein has long been a political challenge for Trump. The two were once friends, but Trump maintains that he cut ties with him around two decades ago and was not aware of Epstein’s offenses.

The US Coast Guard’s pursuit of a third oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela has intensified a blockade that the Trump administration hopes will cut off a vital economic lifeline and isolate the government of President Nicolás Maduro.

US forces chased the US-sanctioned Bella 1 on Sunday as it was en route to Venezuela. They boarded Centuries, a ship owned by a Hong Kong-based entity, on Saturday — the first non-sanctioned vessel to be targeted. Another very large crude carrier, the Skipper, was intercepted on Dec. 10.

The moves on three separate vessels represent the most concerted attempt to date to sever the financial links sustaining a government that Washington says is led by a drug-trafficking cartel, and one that it has also recently designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Maduro has so far withstood the onslaught, but the blockade is beginning to limit hard currency and to hurt an already battered economy.

      <title>Balance of Power: Policy Pulse for Dec. 15, 2025 (Podcast)</title>
      <link>https://assets.bwbx.io/av/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/vgTm8WHib.Ho/v6.mp3</link>
      <description>A potential President Donald Trump presidential order that would reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III and the impact it has on equities and ETFs in the marijuana space was a key highlight of Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on Dec. 15.  The AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF, tickered MSOS, is up nearly 60% on the news. Yet we caution that Trump doesn't have the unilateral authority to reclassify the drug but rather will have to direct the Department of Justice to restart a lengthy process to do so. We also discussed a forthcoming proposal related to stablecoins as well as our 2026 outlooks for Washington.

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 D.C.

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration

This is the final Washington Policy Pulse of 2025. The call will be back on Monday, January 5.</description>

      <description>An update on Congressional plans -- or the lack thereof -- to extend Obamacare subsidies led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on Dec 8. While the Senate is expected to vote on a deal to extend the subsidies for 3-years, political partisanship remains and deals will be difficult to achieve. We also previewed what Bloomberg News reports to be a $12 billion aid package for farmers, which the White House is expected to roll out today. Other topics of discussion also include a discussion of our 2026 crypto policy outlook, with a focus on forthcoming stablecoin and crypto rules key for firms like Coinbase, Robinhood, Circle and Bullish. 

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 D.C.

      <description>A discussion of a reported forthcoming plan from the White House to extend Obamacare subsidies -- potentially as long as two years -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on Nov. 24. Such an extension, if enacted, could bode well for insueres such as Centene and UnitedHealth. We also previewed a meeting at the FDIC -- to be held on Nov. 25 -- that will see that regulator finalize a leverage ratio rule for banks like Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. Finally, we highlighted a forthcoming executive order on artificial intelligence that, in our view, may face certain a court challenge.

      <title>Balance of Power: DC Policy Pulse for Nov 17, 2025 (Podcast)</title>
      <link>https://assets.bwbx.io/av/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/viRB7vlQkg_Q/v6.mp3</link>
      <description>A preview of what a final leverage ratio rule -- which we think will be released before the end of the year -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on Nov. 17. The change will likely cut Tier 1 capital for banks like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America. We also discussed chances of a crypto bill passing in 4Q -- key for platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood. We also discussed the potential for $13 billion of aid for US farmers as well as a status update on the National Defense Authorization Act.

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 D.C.

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration</description>
