stellar money-making opportunities and you're talking about those big box businesses, those mom and pop businesses as well, and you better believe there'll be print plenty of enterprising people out there with their t-shirts and chomsky's all along that path of totality also stimulating the economy. and you know, there is a lot of food opportunities even if they have nothing to do with the eclipse this bad boy right here. well, this is the krispy kreme total solar eclipse doughnut that has an oreo cookie in the middle, as well as oreo bits around it on a chocolate the frosted doughnut, you can get this, i think up and through the eclipse, but it's a, it's a pretty daunting, but you're let's just looking sugary delight. >> hear sounds yummy to be indian hey there, stephanie elam, i thank you very, very much. this important note to our viewers. be sure to watch cnn's special coverage of the eclipse beginning monday at 1:00 p.m. eastern and to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. the news
12:01 am
>> who's continues on cnn, right now >> tonight on >> 360 after shock, >> still ongoing after a >> rare earthquake disrupts >> the northeast this >> morning. and i'll show you the moment it >> happened and the aftershocks i continue also with the former prisoners hush money trial days away. he's trying get again to get the judge in the case to recuse himself the latest on that, plus the total solar eclipse is monday hope you get ready tonight. good evening. thanks for joining us. are short time ago we experienced the 12th and latest aftershock from magnitude 4.8 earthquake in new jersey jersey that rattled nerves and windows across the northeast this morning, it was the strongest quake to hit the state since america officially secured. it's independence from great britain. no deaths are significant levels of damage, but delays at several the nation's busiest airports, as well as rail travel, disrupted lives and one of the most densely populated areas the country in a moment, we'll look at why smaller earthquakes
12:02 am
on the east coast may potentially have a greater impact than similar ones in the west but first, polo sandoval joins us from times square. so there was this 4.0 magnitude aftershock, right before 6:00. i didn't even feel that one. did you feel it in times square? >> at least i personally didn't feel it here in times square. andreessen is very much business as usual. tonight, you can hear the sirens meanwhile, though it's important to also remind viewers that officials here in new york have confirmed the total of 11 aftershocks, as you mentioned, the strongest and the most noticeable one. only a couple of hours ago, over eight hours since the main quake >> a >> typical morning in middlesex, new jersey suddenly interrupted by a rare earthquake that rocked much of the eastern us on friday second angle capsule the rattling of the walls, violent enough to knock items to the ground >> your my house was shaking
12:03 am
>> it's one of many videos shared online, capturing stunned and scared residents during and after the 4.8 magnitude quake the epicenter was some 50 miles west of new york city in northern new jersey, according to the us geological survey, which estimates at least 23 million people felt some degree of shaking from dc to new england ned tanner was working at a manhattan high-rise. >> my chair started kind of bouncing a little bit. and as soon as i looked around, i immediately realized that i wasn't alone. everybody else in the building definitely felt something. and so there's a feeling i haven't experienced before. it was quite interesting and yeah, there's a little unnerving the new jersey quake is the largest to strike that state and over 240 years, according to the usgs in new york city, let's security council meeting on the war in
12:04 am
the middle east forced to pause as the un manhattan headquarters shook. >> some yeah you're making the ground shake critical infrastructure like bridges and the transit system fared well. many bill to withstand seismic events stronger than friday's assured city officials, we do not have any reports of major impacts to our infrastructure or injuries but of course we are still assessing the situation so polo has a full damage assessment across the region being completed >> the mayor, eric adams anderson said that they are going to continue to keep engineers on the shifts, especially into the weekend as those that assessment continue so far, they're buildings departments have seemed no reports of any buildings, any of the close to 1 million buildings here in the city that were structurally compromise. so they continue to remind the public to certainly be on alert especially with the potential before aftershocks, we mentioned 11 year a little while ago that last insignificant one that was the 12th one to be felt. and there
12:05 am
is still a real possibility that there could be more there are also reminding people of that advice. it's important to keep in mind should one of those certainly be rattled by one of these? aftershocks and potentially dropped to the floor, cover their heads. their next also to seek shelter under heavy piece of furniture advice that officials certainly hope that won't be needed anymore for the rest of tonight. >> yeah. polo sandoval. thanks very much. i'm joined now by tom foreman, add the magic wall. so tom, i'm going for quick of of relatively limited power. i mean, it certainly had a very big effect. why is that? >> yeah, this isn't a really huge one. if you look at the epicenter over here in new jersey, every one of these dots represents somebody who felt it's only polo mentioned there all the way up to new england, down to dc. the reason they felt it so far is the nature of the area. this wasn't a very deep quake, so it would resonate out more in the east. you have very old rock strata out here. it's very densely packed. it can carry that vibration, that signal very, very far. and frankly, anderson really big population here. there are a lot of people to
12:06 am
sense it. >> doing a more >> rural area, it may not be noticed as much. >> should people be worried about aftershocks are even a stronger quake1 coming days they're hardly noticeable >> well, they are >> hardly noticeable and there have been a fair number of them since this happened this morning. none of them have made it up to that 4.8. this one came the closest down here, generally, because this isn't that strong, not so much of a worry, however, one of the worries is that the east, unlike other parts of the country, has not so much been retrofitted with buildings that are earthquake resistant. many of the buildings are very old. so if you've got hit with a big bump, it could be an issue generally, geologist say, no real worry here. >> how does this one today compared to some of the ones felt out west in the past? >> yeah. if you look at and i know you've covered these as i have as you move west. boy, does this map change? this is the area up here, not a lot of seismic activity, of course, alaska and hawaii, but and he moved the midwest area here down in missouri a lot, but
12:07 am
then california out here, that's where you get the big swath of tremendous numbers of earthquakes in the damage can be extraordinary. loma prieta and san francisco, 1980, 94.8. today, look at this 6.9. remember, this goes up exponentially, not just by a little bit, that's a big, big difference. northridge quake 1994, i remember covering this one and the really the granddaddy of them, all. the thing that is out west, the thing nobody can believe, anchorage back in 1964, look at that nine the biggest earthquake in the history of this country, one of the biggest in the world. and my wife was a little girl living in this town when that happens, she still remembers every moment of it that went for 4.5 minutes out think about four-and-a-half minutes of shaking. unbelievable. i'm forming. thanks to mind i'd perspective now from steven hall or associate professor of physics at fordham university, and also susan hough, seismologists and the us
12:08 am
geological survey. >> steven, thanks for being with us. i love it that you didn't actually even feel it. you are driving down the road? >> i was driving up. >> you miss the giant events? i missed it. i live five years in california. didn't never experienced with drag out there too. so >> why explain why this happened today here in the coast. i mean, does it out? why would it happen? i think it was the yankees home opener >> now, it's it's it's a random event that can happen. i mean, we've there are faults out here and there are there's pressure that's built up and it and these are essentially tectonic plates shifting. >> yeah, they're, they're, they're moving against each other. they're slipping and their they're giving up some of the energy that they have stored in it. and there's not >> there's not really any way to predict, is there? i mean, i know some people's animals like seemed to free catalyst. >> yeah, the animals have seemed to know ahead of time, but there's there's no real way to object earthquakes. i don't think anybody would bet money on on predicting earthquakes >> and susan, what do you make
12:09 am
the 4.0 magnitude aftershock that happened right before 6:00 p.m. i. mean, is that is that just typical and how many more aftershocks kid there be? >> oh, there can be quite a few. it's in keeping with expectations we make forecast based on average statistics of aftershocks that we've seen in the past. and there's actually a forecast on the usgs webpage for a sequence that could continue for months or even years at a low rate. and if you look right now now, there is a chance of aftershocks and even another earthquake magnitude five or greater than chances statistically of a five or greater are actually one and about 15 over the next year. so that's a low chance, but one and 15 is not zero. so once you've had the earthquake activity that definitely it's increasing the chances of more events that, that increase chances. i mean, how long does that last four? >> it can last for quite
12:10 am
awhile. and a months or years for an event is largest, 4.8. >> interesting. >> so it's something that the usgs will continue to monitor and the aftershock forecast on the webpage will continue to be updated. >> and steven, would this have anything to do? i'm in taiwan just had an earthquake anyway there's one followed the other. and does this have anything to do with i know i got people ask me this headed anything to do with the solar eclipse? >> no. noted it. did both of those the taiwan quake yeah, it was it was much larger, right? it was it was it was three orders of magnitude larger, right >> because it's some 0.8 magnitude this one was a 4.8 the numbers are confusing. what does that mean in terms of how much stronger was the taiwan? taiwan about 1,000 times stronger, thousand times stronger. okay >> so if you can imagine, if you were feeling that shake in your house that i imagine that amplified by 1,000 times. >> that's >> so it would be it's a much more intense event in susan.
12:11 am
how are the earthquakes on the west coast different than those experienced here on the east or are they well, as your listeners her there there felt more strongly the waves once they're released, travel much more efficiently in the east because of the nature of the crust. and so you see these large these large felt extents ads, it's a different geologic setting in the west, you have two plates that are moving relative to each other. the pacific plate versus the north american plate. on the east the north american continent is pretty much glued to the oceanic crust that's next to it. there's no plate boundary hungry that's moving. so you don't have a california style earthquake zone along the east, but you do have these broad stresses. you're getting earthquakes that are spread out along the atlantic seaboard. we've had large earthquakes in the past in charleston, south carolina close to magnitude seven and 18, 86 >> another >> event over magnitude seven offshore of grand banks and
12:12 am
1929. so these infrequent but large earthquakes are possible along a broad zone that we really don't understand very well because we don't have as much data as for california. >> so watching thank you so much. steven hall as well. appreciate it, still >> comes tonight. the former president, once again tries to get the judge in his criminal hush money trial to recuse himself, will examine his latest argument, delay the trial that comes days before it scheduled to begin. also tonight, almost as rare as an east east coast earthquake, melania trump set to make an appearance details ahead get your viewing glasses ready. >> it flips >> across america live monday at one, spirit >> nice going though. nothing like a little confidence boost to help ease you back into the dating scene that includes having a smile. you feel good about fortunately, aspen dental specializes and dentures and implants made just for you and with flexible financing, you don't need to sacrifice quality work for price that fits your budget at $0 down

12:17 am
hush money trial is set to begin. we're now learning more about a filing this week where the former president once again demands the new york judge overseeing his trial, recused himself. the apparent delay tactics sites the former president's presumptive status as the republican nominee for president and need to campaign as a new justification for the request. the former president also cites a comment, judge juan juan merchan made to the associated press last month. the judge declined to discuss the case, but said the preparation for the trial was quote, intense and once again, the former president takes a swipe at the judge's daughter and her alleged political connections is comes days after the judge expanded the gag order against the former president include all family members of court staff including the judge's daughter. former president is apparently already flouted that order on more than one occasion. now, the manhattan da's office has previously said that trump offers no evidence for recusal other than a quote, daisy chain of innuendos get some legal perspective now from former federal chief judge john jones, the third and former federal prosecutor, elie honig. joe
12:18 am
jones. what do you make of this filing from the trump team is there any evidence your mind that the judge should recuse himself? >> well, it anderson, first of all, it's good to be back with you. i don't see anything in the motion that's new they indicate that the predicate for this motion as opposed to the one that they filed last year is that he's now the nominee instead of the presumptive nominee or he's going to be the nominee i don't think that that changes anything in particular in terms of a factual basis and you just mentioned that the judge made some statements to the press. i frankly don't see anything there that would disqualify him. of course, preparation is intense some people would argue that judges shouldn't talk to the press at all. i guess you could make a case for that, but there was nothing that he said that was in my view, a basis to recuse elie. you wrote a piece last year calling >> for the judge to recuse himself. why is that? and do
12:19 am
you still believe it? >> i do still believe that anderson he will not recuse himself to be clear. i agree with what judge jones joe said. i don't think the new statements that the judge made require his recusal, but here's the biggest problem. judgment, sean, in july of 2020, made a very small donation, $35, but he went on the internet, logged into a site called two blue, and he donated $35 to, first of all, joe biden for president 20 22nd of all, to a group dedicated to stopping donald trump and his radical right-wing legacy. now it's a very small amount, but the reason we have recusal anderson is to protect the process because the rule say if a person could reasonably look at the judge's activities and question whether that judge was truly impartial, then the judge should step aside. judges do this all the time. let the next judge handle it and i think if the tables were turned, if this judge had donated $35 in 2020 to reelect donald trump and to defeat joe biden and his radical left-wing legacy. i
12:20 am
think could see the case. so i think this judge shouldn't i've stepped off and let any of the other of dozens of judges in the courthouse handle the case with no issues. >> joe jones, do you think a prior donation is an issue >> elie wrote a very thoughtful piece and i can't disagree at all with ellie's logic in this case, looking at it from the perspective that he did, the fact of the matter though, is that the judge has to make a determination. can his impartiality be reasonably questioned in this case? it was a fifth $10 donation to joe biden. now, what i have made a political donation, no, i would not have done so, but he got an advisory opinion. i think it's de minimis. the donation. he's got to try to figure out in his mind and his heart that is judged metron whether he can sit fairly a judgment. and as elie well knows, he's not the finder of fact this case. ellie's point, i believe having read his very good piece is is that this gives an appearance of a conflict. it doesn't look right to the
12:21 am
public. well, that's a call, judge. merge. sean is making. i agree with la. he's not going to recuse at this point. he's going to hang in the risk of course, is that he presides and creates an appellate issue. and the case ends up being reversed based on the fact that an appellate court believes that judge roshan should have recused but i think we've crossed the rubicon. now, he's not going to leave elleithee. >> you think it is a big issue for an appeal? >> i think it will be raised on appeal and i think there's a possibility. i think i agree with judge jones a fairly remote possibility that a court of appeals will disagree with this. but as judge jones properly notes, what judge martian did was he went to a an ethics panel of other judges and he asked them for an opinion. this is last year when the issue was first row craze that ethics panel said, you're okay, you can stay on the case if you want to. i still think the right move for judge mission would have been to step off because we can debate $35 is not a lot of money, i think by any calculation. but the
12:22 am
problem is the man took the time to go on the internet to click over to act blue. he entered his credit card information and he gave money to an effort to defeat donald trump and to promote joe biden. and i do think a reasonable person can question that. i will tell you there are tens of millions of reasonable people in this country who questioned that and that courthouse is packed with very competent judges, by the way, i think judge john has done an exceptional job thus far in this case. but why not handed get down the hall. there's dozens of other judges. why even have these questions lingering over the case at all? >> judge, would something i mean, if he were to decide to recuse himself, would that delay the trial significantly? would that be a big process of bringing in a new judge? >> well, it depends. there are some other motions. i think that app to be filed. i think he swatting down the motions one by one as they commend, certainly there would be a delay anderson, i think ellie knows that as well. it's not going to go to trial on
12:23 am
schedule if he hands it off. but as ellie he said, there's some very capable judges there. i think they could get up to speed pretty rapidly if they had to. i can't imagine it would be a lengthy delay. if he actually recused and do you think i'm john jones. do you think this filing is primarily about trying to delay the trial >> well, you know, nothing focuses the mind like a date certain for a trial as ellie knows, and everybody everybody knows that this case is going to get convened and it's quite clear that they don't want the case to go to trial probably before the election so this is one more tool in the toolbox that they could file to perhaps impede the process. i don't blame them necessarily for doing it. it's not a frivolous motion but i just don't think it's emotion that's going to stick at this point, though jones, elie honig. thank you so much. appreciate it. meanwhile,

a senior administration official tells cnn the us is actively preparing for quote, significant iranian attack on us are israeli assets. it could come soon as next week, cnn's mj lee at the white house with more so what are you hearing >> anderson, we are learning tonight that the us is on high alert and preparing for a significant attack by iran that could come as soon as within the next week, this attack, of course, would be in response to an israeli airstrike this week in damascus yes. that ended up killing at top iranian commanders i'm told that us and israeli officials see this attack by iran as basically inevitable, and that the two governments, right now are furiously working together to prepare for what is to come. but that even as of today that these officials do not know exactly how oh, and when iran plans to attack of course anderson, a direct attack on israel would be one of the worst-case scenarios that the us administration and the biden administration would like to avoid seeing given that this could lead to a real
12:33 am
deterioration in an already explosive situation in the middle east he is an a broadening of this regional conflict that again, the biden white house has so much wanted to avoid. >> there had been communications at times between the us and iran in very critical situations. how do we know has there been communication about this? >> there has been, and obviously remarkable given that the two countries do not have any formal diplomatic relations. but what i'm learning along with my colleague jenny hansler, is that when this damascus attack verse happen, that iran reached out to the us and sent a message basically blaming the us for this attack. and that the us then responded and said one, we didn't have any warnings about this attack. we didn't have any involvement in it, and second, sent a warning to the iranians saying, don't use this as a pretext to attack us personnel and facilities. a senior official telling me that
12:34 am
this was a kin to them saying don't think about coming after us. so you can tell just by this exchange just how volatile the situation is, even just given the fact that there was formal communication between the two countries. >> and just to be clear, this what they're terming the sources, terming a significant possible attack. it would be they believe in the middle east, in the region. >> that's right. we should be very clear about that. we are talking about the potential targeting of us are israeli assets in the region. we're not talking about something that involves an american soil. >> all right. mj lee. thanks so much. tonight we are seeing more fallout from the israeli strike that killed seven aid work workers from world central kitchen the idf released a report into the killings today saying that it violated its own protocols and the attacker should not have happened. they also dismissed two officers and reprimanded others for their involvement in the strike. even with that report, sector of state antony blinken called for an independent, thorough, and
12:35 am
fully publicized investigation. so he described it into the deadly attack, joining me from inside gaza is or what damon, a former cnn correspondent and founder of inara, the international network for aid relief and assistance. are your aid organization was in gaza and the strikes on the world central kitchen convoy occurred. i think you got in a day or two after or what is it like being there? what is the impact on your organization and others like it? >> i mean, look, first of all, everyone who works for you, not a form my organization, they're gazan. so this is their life and these are their people. and obviously this strike on the world central kitchen was extraordinarily jarring. i mean, i came in with a number of other people working for different humanitarian organizations and we were all extraordinarily jittery >> and >> it's strange because obviously i've spent years as a journalist and more zones. now i'm here as a humanitarian and i would've maybe thought that perhaps i would feel as if there was a bit less of a risk given the nature of
12:36 am
