9:02 pm
typical morning in middlesex, new jersey much of the eastern us on friday second angle captured the rattling of the walls violent enough to knock items to the ground you, my house was shaking >> it's one of many videos shared online, capturing stunned and scared residents during and after 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 starting kind of bouncing a little bit and as
9:03 pm
soon as i looked around, i immediately realized that i wasn't alone everybody else in the building definitely felt something 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 new york city, let security council meeting on the war in the middle east forced to pause as the un manhattan headquarters shook some yeah, >> you're you're making the ground shake critical infrastructure like bridges and the transit system fared well. many built to withstand seismic events strger than friday's assured city officials, we do not have any reports of major impacts to our infrastructure oruries but of course we are still assessing the situation >> so polo has a full damage assessment across the region been completed the mayor eric adams anderson said that he, they are going to continue to keep engineers on the shifts, especially into the weekend as
9:04 pm
those >> as at assessment continue so far, their buildings departments have received no reports of any buildings, any of the close to 1 million buildings here in the city, there were structurally compromise, so they continue to remind the public to certainly be on alert especially with the potential for aftershocks. we mentioned 11 year a little while ago that last insignificant one that was the 12th one to be felt. and there is still a real possibility that there could be more, they're also reminding people of that advice. it's important in to keep in mind should one of those sort they 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 i said, officiant, really 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 mean, for quick of of relatively limited power, i mean, it's 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, new jersey, every one of these dots represents somebody who felt it's only pull mentioned there
9:05 pm
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 strength at a, out here it's very densely packed. it can carry that vibration, that signal very, very far. and frankly, anderson has a really big population here. there are a lot of people to sense it doing a more rural area, it may not be noticed as much. >> should people be worried about aftershocks or 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 four 0.8. 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, but
9:06 pm
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 this is the area up here, not a lot of seismic activity, of course, alaska and hawaii, but he moved the midwest outer here down to illinois, missouri a lot. but then california here that's where you get the big swath of tremendous numbers of earthquakes and 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 60 0.7, 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 9.2. the biggest earthquake in the history of this country, one of the biggest in the world and my
9:07 pm
wife was a little girl living in this this town when that happened, she's remembers every moment of it that went for 4.5 minutes out think about four-and-a-half minutes of shaking unbelievable. >> found farming. thanks so much perspection now from steven hall or associate professor of physics at fordham university, and also susan hough a seismologist and the us geological survey >> steven, thanks for being with us. i love it that you didn't actually even feel it. you're driving on the road? >> i was driving thank you. miss the giant events? i missed it. i live five years in california. didn't never experienced an earthquake out there too. so >> why explain why this happened today here in the coast. i mean, does it we have 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
9:08 pm
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 predict earthquakes. i don't think anybody would bet money on on predicting earthquakes. >> and susan, what do you make 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 >> 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, there is a chance of aftershocks and even another earthquake magnitude five or greater than chances statistically of a five or greater actually one in about
9:09 pm
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 definitely it's increasing the chances of more events and that increase chances. i mean, how long does that last for >> it can last for quite awhile and a months or years for an event as large as 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 mean, taiwan just had an earthquake anyway. i mean, there's one followed the other. and does this have anything to do with i know i got people asked me if this had 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
9:10 pm
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 are feeling that shake in your house that i imagine that amplified by 1,000 that's so it would be, it's a much more intense event >> and susan, how are the earthquakes on the west coast different than those experienced here on the east? are they? >> well, as your listeners, her there there felt more strongly the waves once they're released, treble much more efficiently in the east because of the nature of the crust. and so you see these large these large felt extents, 80s, 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 glue to the oceanic crust that's next to it. there's no plate boundary that's moving. so you don't have a california
9:11 pm
just 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 in 18, 86. another event over magnitude seven offshore of grand banks and 1929 so these infrequent, 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 per kelvin i said watching susan. >> thank you so much. steven hall are as well. appreciate it. >> still becomes tonight the former president once again tries to get the judge and his criminal hush money trial to recuse himself. will examine his latest arguments, delay the trial that comes days before it scheduled to begin. also tonight, almost as rare as an east coast east coast earthquake, melania trump set to make an appearance details ahead >> this is the big dam. it's

for what you need not all caitlin clark's are the same. caitlin clark, city planner. just like not all internet providers are the same, don't settle. get real deal speed, reliability and power with xfinity. she shoots from here? that's kinda my thing.
9:16 pm
get the real deal with xfinity internet today, and get fast speeds and a reliable connection to all your devices in the home —even when everyone is online. it out at shine.com smerconish tomorrow with nine easter that's ten days before his new york hush money trial is set to begin. we're now learning more about a filing this week where the former president we're seeing his trial, recuse himself. the apparent delay tactic sites the former president is presumptive status as the republican nominee for president and need to campaign as a new justification for the request the foreign present 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 intense. 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 to include all family members of court
9:17 pm
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. going to get some legal perspective now from former federal chief judge john jones, the third and former federal prosecutor elie honig. joe 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, anderson, first of all, it's good to be back with you. i don't see anything in the motion that's do 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
9:18 pm
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 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 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 act blue, and he donated $35 to, first of all joe biden for president 2020 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 this because the rule
9:19 pm
say if a person could reasonably look at the judge's activities and question whether that judge was truly impartial than 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 think you'd see the case, so i think this judge should have stepped off and let any of the other of dozens of judges in the courthouse handled the case with no issues judge jones, do you think prior donation is an issue >> you know, elie wrote a very thoughtful piece and i can't disagree at all with leas 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 $115 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
9:20 pm
de minimis. the donation. he's got to try to figure out in his mind and his heart that is judged merchan whether he can sit fairly a judgment. and as well knows, he's not the finder of fact in 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 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 it appellate court believes that judge russia and should have recused but i think we've crossed the rubicon. now, he's not going to leave. >> ellie. do 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 we'll disagree with this, but as judge jones
9:21 pm
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 raised. >> and 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 them or sean would have been to step off because we can debate $35 is not a lot of money, i think by any calculation. but the 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 question that and that courthouse is packed with very competent then judges, by the way, i think judge john has done an exceptional job thus far in this case. but why not handed 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?
9:22 pm
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's swatting down the motions one by one as they come in. certainly, there would be a delay. anderson, i think ellie knows that as well. it's not going to go to trial i'll on schedule. if he hands it off. but as elie said, there's a 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. >> do you think i mean, judge 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.
9:23 pm
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, former first lady melania trump, largely absent from her husband's campaign trail, is set to make a rare appearance this month. sources tell cnn she will attend the april 20th fundraiser for the log cabin. republicans are conservative. lgbt groups. she won't have to travel very far. or the event is being held at mar-a-lago, seen as randi kaye has more today last month when former president donald trump cast his ballot in florida is primary, melania trump was at his side, a reporter asked about her plans to campaign for her husband and this was her response >> with your husband stay stay tuned. she said >> now the former first lady is set to return to the political

9:32 pm
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 and when iran plans to attack of course, anderson, a direct attack on israel would be one of the worst-case scenarios at the us administration the biden administration would like to avoid c.y. and given that this could lead to a real deterioration in an already explosive situation and the middle east and 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 and 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 first happen? that iran reached out to the us and sent a
9:33 pm
message basically blaming the us for this attack and that the us then responded and said one, we didn't have any warning he's 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 this was akin 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 whether 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 american soil. >> all right. mj lee. thanks so much. tonight we are seeing
9:34 pm
more fallout from these really strike that. killed seven aid workers from world central kitchen the idf released a report into the killings today saying that it violated its own protocols in 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 thoreau and fully publicized investigation. that's how he he described it into the deadly attack, joining me from inside gaza is or with damon and former seen in correspondent and founder of a nara, 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 an a day or two afterward. what is it like being there? what is the impact on your organization and others like 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
9:35 pm
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 and 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 of humanitarian work >> but >> that's not really the case here. and when it comes to staff on the ground, obviously they're extremely anxious, but they also have this feeling of these are our people. and if we don't help them, then who is going to and especially now with the world central kitchen suspending its, its services. i mean, that's having a huge impact. >> people are hungry are now >> because of that for people don't know. >> i mean, you're not just a former journalist, you when you were a journalist, you were in the most dangerous, the most intense places risking your life repeatedly with your
9:36 pm
cruise >> how >> does rafah compared to what you have seen? >> it's really hard to compare war zones, especially when it comes to the pain that is caused because that is the same no matter where you go. >> but there's something >> about this that is very, very different. the speed with which it all happened, the speed with which the crush of humanity found itself >> in >> rafah, and the fact that it's so impossibly difficult to access those who are in need and to get the aid in. it's just even the most simple things anderson wanting to get people diapers wanting to get women sanitary products, wanting to get food wanting to just do anything, you run into so many different layers of challenges that are those
9:37 pm
challenges about because israel is saying, look more aid is getting in, there'll be a the new crossings to opening up the erez crossing what is one stuff even once it gets in, what what are the bottlenecks >> so it's quite interesting because i had an idea of what the bottlenecks were when i was on the outside. and now that i'm here, i actually have a much deeper understanding of what they are. so first of all, it takes around two to three weeks for a truckload to get in. and then once it gets in, it needs to be all floated and transported. that's not as straightforward as it might seem, because there's extreme fuel shortages. people can't move around very easily from one neighborhood to another and the routes that one can actually use do tend to change. and then when you actually get to these areas to try to distribute whatever it is that you have. it's complete and total, chaotic and sanity to a certain degree because there is so little people are panicked what is your organization or
