### Article Body

Washington’s biggest storyline broke late Thursday and is still ricocheting through the capital: President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi and installed Todd Blanche as interim chief at Justice. Blanche, speaking on Fox, pledged the department is “working hard every day,” as legal circles parsed what the sudden switch means for politically charged probes and the long-shadow Epstein files. The legal world is already buzzing—from the ABA’s defense of firms targeted by executive orders to DLA Piper heading to trial on pregnancy discrimination claims—about how far this DOJ might bend to the president’s will next [[1]](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/apr/03/trump-justice-department-bondi-blanche-epstein-latest-updates) [[2]](https://abovethelaw.com/2026/04/morning-docket-04-03-26/).

On the war front, Trump escalated rhetoric against Iran’s infrastructure, vowing stepped-up strikes on bridges and power plants. Tehran, for its part, claimed a second U.S. F‑35 was downed over Iranian territory—an assertion the U.S. has not confirmed. Markets felt the heat: oil prices jumped in the wake of the primetime threats, adding another layer of pressure to energy‑sensitive sectors [[1]](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/apr/03/trump-justice-department-bondi-blanche-epstein-latest-updates) [[3]](https://www.modernghana.com/amp/videonews/632003).

The U.S. jobs engine beat expectations: employers added 178,000 positions in March and unemployment dipped to 4.3%, a stronger print after February’s extraordinary contraction. The upside surprise complicates the picture for rate‑cut timing even as households still grapple with higher fuel costs amid Middle East volatility [[1]](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/apr/03/trump-justice-department-bondi-blanche-epstein-latest-updates).

With personnel whiplash at DOJ, a hot war and hotter oil, and a labor market that refuses to quit, markets and lawmakers alike have little room for miscalculation [[1]](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/apr/03/trump-justice-department-bondi-blanche-epstein-latest-updates).
