The official said a search operation is underway for the second crew member. The Justice Department lost its bid to continue an investigation into building renovation cost overruns by the Federal Reserve, setting the stage for an appeal that could eventually reach the Supreme Court.

U.S. District Chief Judge James Bosberg upheld an earlier ruling he made to quash two grand jury subpoenas issued to the central bank by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro as part of a criminal investigation into the cost overruns and congressional testimony Chair Jerome Powell provided on the matter. Pirro's office had asked Bosberg to reconsider his decision to reject the subpoenas. The ruling is the latest development in a legal battle that pits the independence of the Fed against the Justice Department's power to carry out investigations. The Pentagon's proposed fiscal 2027 budget would significantly ramp up its military firepower. Bloomberg's Monica Ricks reports.
Monica Ricks 2:25
The Pentagon seeking 85 Lockheed Martin fighter jets up from 47 requested last year in a big boost for the largest U.S. weapons program. Some F-35 models are already flying in the mission over Iran, but these new jets are part of a broader $1.5 trillion defense blueprint from President Trump and would likely be among the most scrutinized elements of the plan since they'd come at a cost of sharp cuts to domestic programs. Another element is funding for the Golden Dome Missile and Air Defense Umbrella, which Trump is looking to put in place by the end of his second term. Monica Ricks.
Ed Kalecki 2:59
It was a good Friday for the labor market. Bloomberg's Mike McKee takes a look at the numbers.

178,000 jobs were created during the month of March. Of course, this is before the war for the most part. The unemployment rate drops to 4.3% from 4.4%. Change in private payrolls, 186,000. And the change in manufacturing payrolls, a positive 15,000. We'd seen other earlier indicators like ADP suggesting manufacturing would lose jobs.
Ed Kalecki 3:30
Bloomberg's Mike McKee on Bloomberg surveillance. Bloomberg opinion contributor and former New York Fed President Bill Dudley says that with the current uncertainty, it's best for the Fed to do nothing. Dudley spoke on Bloomberg surveillance.
Bill Dudley 3:42
The Fed is back where they were a year ago, where they were worried about both sides of their mandate. And then as we went through the 2025, they became less worried about inflation and they became less worried about growth.
