(AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson)2026-01-12T00:45:10Z ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) President Donald Trump said Sunday that he is inclined to keep ExxonMobil out of Venezuela after its top executive was skeptical about oil investment efforts in the country after the toppling of former President Nicols Maduro.I didnt like Exxons response, Trump said to reporters on Air Force One as he departed West Palm Beach, Florida. Theyre playing too cute.During a meeting Friday with oil executives, Trump tried to assuage the concerns of the companies and said they would be dealing directly with the U.S., rather than the Venezuelan government.Some, however, werent convinced.If we look at the commercial constructs and frameworks in place today in Venezuela, today its uninvestable, said Darren Woods, CEO of ExxonMobil, the largest U.S. oil company.Also on Friday, Trump signed an executive order that seeks to ensure that Venezuelan oil revenue remains protected from being used in judicial proceedings. The executive order, made public on Saturday, says that if the funds were to be seized for such use, it could undermine critical U.S. efforts to ensure economic and political stability in Venezuela. Venezuela has a history of state asset seizures, ongoing U.S. sanctions and decades of political uncertainty. Getting U.S. oil companies to invest in Venezuela and help rebuild the countrys infrastructure is a top priority of the Trump administration after Maduros capture. The White House is framing the effort to run Venezuela in economic terms, and Trump has seized tankers carrying Venezuelan oil, has said the U.S. is taking over the sales of 30 million to 50 million barrels of previously sanctioned Venezuelan crude, and plans to control sales worldwide indefinitely.___Kim reported from West Palm Beach, Florida.

(AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson, File)2026-01-12T00:58:20Z WASHINGTON (AP) Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Sunday the Department of Justice has served the central bank with subpoenas and threatened it with a criminal indictment over his testimony about the Feds building renovations. The move represents an unprecedented escalation in President Donald Trumps battle with the Fed, an independent agency he has repeatedly attacked for not cutting its key interest rate as quickly as Trump prefers. The subpoena relates to his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee in June, Powell said, regarding the Feds $2.5 billion renovation of two office buildings, a project that Trump criticized as excessive this summer. In a video statement, Powell said the threat of criminal charges are pretexts to undermine the Feds independence when it comes to setting interest rates. This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditionsor whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation, Powell said. The Justice Department in a statement Sunday said it cant comment on any particular case, but added that Attorney General Pam Bondi has instructed her US Attorneys to prioritize investigating any abuse of tax payer dollars. A spokesperson for U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirros office didnt immediately respond Sunday to a text message and phone call seeking comment. The potential indictment has already drawn concern from one Republican senator, who said hell oppose any future nominee to the central bank, including any replacement for Powell, until this legal matter is fully resolved.If there were any remaining doubt whether advisers within the Trump Administration are actively pushing to end the independence of the Federal Reserve, there should now be none, said North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, who sits on the Banking Committee, which oversees Fed nominations. It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question.___Associated Press writers Seung Min Kim, Eric Tucker, and Alanna Durkin Richer contributed to this report.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (13) reacts to a touchdown pass to 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey during the second half of an NFL wild-card playoff football game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, in Philadelphia. (AP Photo/Chris Szagola)2026-01-12T00:57:33Z PHILADELPHIA (AP) Brock Purdy threw a go-ahead 6-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey late in the fourth quarter, San Francisco used a trick play on a TD toss from wide receiver Jauan Jennings, and the 49ers eliminated the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles with a 23-19 wild-card victory Sunday.The 49ers head to top-seeded Seattle next weekend for an NFC divisional playoff game. The NFC West rivals split the season series.We just focused on one play at a time, McCaffrey said. We knew it was going to be a 12-round fight. Thats what we kept saying. We just had to stick to it. No matter what happened during the game, good or bad, we just keep trusting each other and ended up winning.Purdy threw for 262 yards and got the road win in Philadelphia he failed to get three seasons ago when he was injured in a dismal outing in Philadelphia in a loss in the NFC title game. Purdy had two passes intercepted in this one by All-Pro cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, but the Eagles scored just three points off the turnovers.The 49ers could head to Seattle without star tight end George Kittle, who was carted off the field with a right Achilles tendon injury late in the first half. The Eagles who won a Super Bowl on a trick play were foiled by one when Jennings was pitched the ball and rolled right and hit McCaffrey on a 29-yard touchdown. The score on the first play of the fourth quarter gave the 49ers a 17-16 lead. Jennings had 66 yards receiving and 48 rushing in addition to his TD pass.The Eagles would only get Jake Elliotts 33-yard field goal in the quarter for a brief 19-17 lead. Philadelphia was again doomed by a lethargic offensive effort under embattled offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo that cost it a shot at a repeat championship. Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts threw for only 168 yards and a touchdown and the Eagles failed to build off a 13-10 halftime lead by totaling only 36 total yards in the third quarter on 16 plays. Hurts was incomplete on a last-gasp fourth-and-11 attempt with 43 seconds left that ended their final drive.Our team fights, McCaffrey said. I love this group so much. I dont have enough good things to say about it. Im proud to be a part of this team.The game never reached its offensive slugfest potential after the teams traded touchdowns on their opening drives.Purdy, rendered ineffective by a torn ligament in his right elbow on the opening drive against the Eagles in a disastrous NFC title game loss three seasons ago, completed all three passes for 74 yards and capped the drive with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Demarcus Robinson. Robinson had 111 yards receiving. The Eagles tied it on a 1-yard sweep by Dallas Goedert, their red zone go-to ace with 11 TD receptions who became the first tight end to rush for a score in NFL postseason history.The Eagles turned again to Goedert on fourth down when Hurts hit him for a 9-yard TD that made it 13-7.Eddy Pineiro kicked a 36-yarder for the 49ers that cut it to 13-10 at halftime. Heat of the momentEagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had to be separated from coach Nick Sirianni by chief security officer Dom DiSandro during a sideline blowup late in the first half. Brown ripped off his helmet in frustration and yelled more in Siriannis direction after the Eagles punted to end a drive.Another postseason pick for MitchellA day after he was named to the 2025 NFL All-Pro Team, Mitchell had his first two interceptions of the season. Mitchell has four career postseason picks, but none in two full regular seasons.InjuriesKittle was pushed out of bounds on a 6-yard reception and grabbed the back of his lower right leg. He was ruled out for the rest of the game.Kittle is a key part of both the run and pass game for the 49ers, but played in just 11 games this season because of injuries. He missed five games early this season with a hamstring injury.Despite some encouragement this week he could return from a foot injury, two-time All-Pro offensive lineman Lane Johnson again sat out. Johnson had limited participation in three practices headed into the game that raised hope he could play for the first time since he was hurt in Week 10.Saquon Barkley ran for 106 yards but was slow to get up on a run in the fourth quarter. He used the stationary bike on the sideline to stay loose. Up next49ers: Will try to win another postseason game on the road. The 49ers won 17-13 in Seattle in the season opener only for the Seahawks to return the favor with a 13-3 win in the season finale.Eagles: Could make yet another change at offensive coordinator as they try not to waste more prime years from Hurts, Barkley and the receivers.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl DAN GELSTON Gelston is an an Associated Press sports writer covering major college and pro sports in Philadelphia, including the 76ers, Flyers, Eagles, Phillies and Villanova. twitter mailto RSShttps://feedx.net https://feedx.site
