defies logic and heard that well, before but even started listing to be honest, even with the cash infusion of $300 million after going public, company is not out of the woods. thanks for joining us. the situation room starts now happening. >> now, breaking news, the manhattan district attorney is asking the judge overseeing donald trump's hush money trial to expand the gag order on the former president to include a relatives of people involved in the case concerned it's about trump's inflammatory rhetoric escalating as he's been attacking the judge and the judge's daughter also breaking an suv rams into the gate of an fbi field office in atlanta, attempting to gain entry. the suspect is now in custody as authorities are scrambling the try to determine a motive at iran is blaming israel for a deadly airstrike on its consular building in damascus, syria, claiming two senior for a rainy and commanders are among those killed standby for an update on the strike and the threat of retaliation welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world i'm wolf blitzer, a year in the situation room the skis, cnn, breaking news, >> because that's good right to the breaking news. and donald trump's hush money case in new york, the prosecutor requesting an expense manchin of trump's gag order with the criminal trial is set to begin two weeks from now cnn's kara scannell is in new york. she has details for us qarrah, tell us what the manhattan district attorney is now asked me for and why >> well, if there's manhattan district attorney's office has asked the judge overseeing this case to expand the gag order that he imposed, limiting some of the people that trump could speak about in the case. and they want the judge to warn trump that if he violates this gag order, he will get sanction. now gag order that was put in place last week said that trump couldn't make statements about potential witnesses, jurors, court staff members, prosecutors, and the family members of court staff, and prosecutors. it did not cover the judge and it did not cover district attorney alvin bragg. now, prosecutors are saying because trump has made a number of statements beginning the very day the after the gag order was put in place, focusing on the judge calling them compromise, also highlighting the judge's daughter, who works for political consulting firm and taking aim at her by name, by suggesting that she is biased against trump's. so in their filing, prosecutors write this court should immediately make clear that defendant is prohibited from making or directing others to make public statements about family members of the court, the district attorney, and all other individuals mentioned in the order. they also got to one argument that's trump's team had made earlier where they were saying that trump has a right to political speech. and the prosecutors saying, in their letter to the judge that what trump is saying is not protected by political speech. they said it's viciously and falsely smearing the judge and his family will care. i understand trump's >> attorneys also are not responding their own filing. is that right? >> yeah so trump's lawyers have responded. they said that trump hasn't violated the gag order because it didn't cover the judges, family members, and they believe that they do have a right to respond to some of the concepts out there about the judge's daughter, who she works for democratic political consulting firm and they feel like they should be able to respond to that. they wrote in their filing to the judge today, accordingly, because the gag order expressly does not apply to family members of the court or the district attorney. and because the challenge social media posts were not intended to materially interfere with these proceedings. president trump did not violate the gag order and no contempt warning would be appropriate. they want the judge to keep this gag order as he gave it last week and not to expand it in any way and not to threaten to sanction trump. if he were to violate the gag order in the future. now this is before the judge, so it will be up to him to decide how he's going to weigh in here. well, jersey, kara scannell reporting for us. thank you, kara very much. i want to bring in elliott williams right now. what's the significance of alvin bragg himself asking the judge to now clarify whether the gag order includes members of the president's family well, if it was very important for alvin bragg to make this request, and here's why on friday that district attorney's office hit >> merely sent a letter asking the judge to clarify or confirm what the gag order said. well, they were asking for it to be expanded, not clarified, are confirmed. and even setting aside how reprehensible from the speech that the former president has engaged in the gag orders simply did not prohibit it on its language. it didn't speak about the judge or the judges coming up. so it was very important for prosecutors to data go to court and specifically asked the judge to expand the gag order. >> interesting, elliott would be follow up. surprise. we haven't already heard from judge merchan about the gag order. do you see any first amendment issues with the including the judge's family? >> well, there absolutely are first amendment issues whenever you're talking about political candidates and speech and threats and where the line between permissible speech and threats that's blurry lawyers, people professors in this area of law grapple with these questions. so of course it's going to be complicated now, am i surprised? we haven't heard from the judge yet? no, of course not because really the judge had to give the parties time to brief up this issue. all we had up until today were letters from the two parties, attorneys like the prosecutors and defense attorneys, just wrote letters to the court saying what they thought today, we got formal filings. i think the judge will digest them now. how and make a more official ruling than just a couple of attorneys saying back-and-forth in snippy letters to each other. we think that the former president violated the gag order >> kara scannell still with us, kara, what sort of timeline could we be looking at for an eventual decision? >> well, the judge has these filings as of today, so as elliott was saying, he wanted digest them, there are complicated issues about the first amendment and political speech. so he will likely want to do a little research into them as well. but he did spend some time on this in the beginning at the very start of this case, prosecutors wanted there to be some order or directed toward trump about his speech. and the judge was very clear at the beginning, he didn't want to impose a gag order in this case because he recognized trump's right to free speech. now the analysis here, since he did impose a gag order, and now that people are asking to extend it, he will digest the law here about what it says about how expansive the gag order can be, and whether it should protect the family numbers of some of these people. the other thing that judge has considered are the threats that the prosecutor's office had received after trump made statements last year. i'm sure he'll be looking to see if there's been any uptick in that as well. he is one being targeted. he will know what is coming in. but i don't think he is going to expand it to include himself, elliott, if the judge rules in favor of the prosecutors, would you expect trump to appeal and how would that work? >> well, he certainly can't. now, if he rules in favor of the prosecutors, all that would happen is the judge would still have to give the former president time to cure or correct the statement you can't just slap sanctions on an individual. you have to give them a chance to either retract it or explain why they made it or whatever else new york law requiring now, once sanctions are imposed, there is a process whereby the former president could appeal the sanctions and that could go up again back to the judge or to the appeals court for a longer process there. but again, nothing would be immediate. you have to give the party had chance to correct the problem before you move with sanctions >> interested qarrah, what do we know about why trump is opposing the expanding this gag order to include the judges family well, trump's lawyers argument is that he needs to campaign and he needs to be able to defend himself against the charges and they're arguing that the judge didn't restrict him for making any statements about his daughter. the judge's daughter works for a democratic political consulting firm trump's team has been focusing on that as being the, political opponent, and so they are pointing that out and what they argue would be part of their ability to defend against these charges. and as trump has made claims about there being bias, he has already moved once to recuse the judge from this case for a small dollar donation he had made two democrats several years ago, and he noted in this it's finally today that they may seek to seek to bring another motion for the judge beaver cues. so part of their argument here is that there is some bias and he's part of his argument is that this is free speech campaign speech, and he should be allowed to make these comments, particularly since they weren't covered by the first gag order in this case. it's interesting. scott jennings and bakari sellers are also joining us in this conversation. scott trump opposes any expansion of the gag order, but trump also has kids and knows what it's like, what's like for people to attack them. so why would he be doing this to someone else's children? well, >> i think he's doing it because he is trying to get a recusal of this, judge. me remember, i think the whole legal strategy of trump is to do anything he can do to slow things down, to get delays, to push all this stuff back. and so i assume that's part, of it here. i mean, she's not a young child. she is an adult and she does work in democratic politics would be one of the things he has said is true. she, she does work in democratic politics and interesting to me that democrats are so been out of shape of it today because it's the same argument that they've made about clarence thomas on the supreme court. they've argue that he should have to recuse because his wife is politically active, but they don't seem to see the same standard here for this, judge. so i look, i questioned whether it's good for him to attack. uh, judges family this judge, after all, holds his fate somewhat in their hands. but i do think there may be a bit of a double-standard standard here on democratic outrage over the issue. >> well, let me carry weigh in on that and also why do you think it's been so hard the carry for republicans to say that the judge's daughter should be off limits as far as trump's condemnations are concerned, and that attack, eager should be condemned attacking her should be beyond the pale. anybody attacking someone's child, regardless of how old they are particularly in a legal proceeding, should be just off limits. the first thing in the clarence thomas analogy is just not quite accurate. i mean, there's a question about clarence thomas is ethics there's a question about whether or not his wife actually actively participated via text messages and other things with an insurrection. and so those two things are vastly different. there's no question about the ethics of this, judge. there's no question about any impropriety on the part of his daughter she should be off limits my biggest problem with this wolf and everyone watching this, will say that there is a double-standard for donald trump. i do. criminal defense law in my day job and i can tell you that if i had any and i believe elliott would agree if i had a singular client that went beyond the pale and did this, they would be hauled in, their bond would be revoked. they would not only be chastised, but they will be under the jail wearing orange and everyday have to change into a suit when they come to trial. what we're seeing right now is fundamentally in the words of my five-year-old kids, not fair but this is what donald trump oftentimes gets, gets unfair treatment. he's not fed out of the same spoon of justice. >> let me let elliot way and what do you think >> more than anything else. i it's the clarence thomas analogy and far more than weighing in on whether there's an insurrection or not. there's litigation before the supreme court dealing with matters that ginni thomas worked on. now, we're at the case. the judge merchan's daughter had actually worked on the alvin bragg case? >> for our >> prosecution before her father, of course, she ought to be recusing me the first frankly, as a former prosecutor to say that, but i think there's a lot of double standards in politics, but i just don't think this is the one to bakari broader point that of course, donald trump's gotten away with a lot and he's a defendant in the case and we'll justice system. he's allowed to defend himself. he's allowed to push for his rights, but at a certain point, they're delay tactics that are as much protection of his rights as they are abusive to the system and where courts are going to figure out what's okay and what's not is the great challenge of our time wolf yeah, looking to see what's going to win full, guys. thank you very, very much coming up iran now says, israel is to blame for a

and officials are accusing israel of launching the airstrike. cnn's nic robertson is working the story for us. nick, what do we know? first of all, about the stretch? and the regional reaction >> well, the ambassador in damascus, syria and the iranian ambassador in damascus said he saw israeli fighter jets, flat six missiles at the building seven people, we understand a dead two of them, senior irgc, iranian revolutionary guard corps commanders, one of the very, very senior in the in that force has been pictured with other leading irgc figures in the past, which gives the impression here is at the elite and the irgc he was a ground force commander. he was an air force commander for the irgc as well. this is perhaps he perhaps is the most senior irgc figure to be killed since the united states killed quds force commander qasem soleimani than a drone strike in iraq back at the very early a part of january 2020. the significance of the strike as well. it is on a diplomatic building. it was on the conduit. the ambassador was nearby, said that he wasn't injured, but the reason that it was struck is unclear clearly, the iranians or blaming blaming israel and say that they will, there will be a decisive response. israel is saying they don't respond to such allegations. indeed, the israeli military spokesman said that this wasn't a diplomatic building. it wasn't in fact, a military building. wolfe. >> what are what else are israeli official saying about all of this >> they are saying that iran is the one that's been escalating the tensions because iran is now accusing israel escalating tensions here in this case the have been many strikes attributed to israel in the past. thinking back here to christmas day, there was a strike on un irgc senior adviser in damascus and airstrike on him killing him. so just a few months ago, israel didn't accept responsibility publicly at the time, but i think it's widely been appreciated are understood that israel was responsible for that strike. and this seems to fit the same hallmarks, attentions, a very high between israel and iran right now. and if we think back to iran's response when the united states killed qasem soleimani the iranians launched heavy missiles at us military bases in iraq. i don't think anyone expects them to do that. israel at the moment, but they're saying a decisive response and it will be significant. we can expect clearly this whole situation could escalate big time nic robertson reporting for us. thank you very much. nick. let's discuss what's going on with a veteran us diplomat, the former under secretary of state for political affairs victoria newland, the basilar. thank you so much for joining us, israel, as you heard, is avoiding commenting on this specific attack, but does the evidence suggest to you that this was in fact an israeli strike on this iranian consular building in damascus well, we'll fit obviously was a significant strike if the israelis had intelligence that there were senior >> irgc officials inside that building? i am not surprised that they would take the strike given the fact that iran has been the primary backer of all of israel's enemies since october 7. and well before from hamas has belonging to the houthis in the red sea. so i think if they had a shot, they were clearly going to take it as you know, iran has already vowing to respond big time to this. are you worried that this could significantly escalate possibly into a direct conflict between israel and iran well, obviously that's something to be concerned about from a us perspective. as you know, the administration has been trying since october 7 to keep this conflict from escalating beyond hamas, israel and beyond gaza. and particularly has been trying to ensure that it does not spread much beyond the low-grade conflict in the north of israel between hezbollah and israeli forces. so that is one thing to look for. iran had been constraining hezbollah in the north and maybe it'll take those chains off or as you said, they we could see a direct strike which would be very dangerous. of course, would be indeed. >> see meanwhile is reporting exclusively ambassador that the united states, the biden administration is now very close to approving the sale of up to 50 additional f 15 fighter jets to israel. how does that square with the biden administration's own criticism of israel's conduct in its war in gaza, killing thousands of palestinian palestinian civilians. >> but the. united states has been the main supplier for the israeli defense forces for many decades. so you have to also think about it the other way when israel is still trying to destroy four standing battalions of hamas fighters in rafah. if the united states were to decide to deny this sale, it would be a very, very significant change of perspective, particularly at a time where we're trying to get israel and hamas to cut a deal and exchange hostages and have a pause and have a ceasefire so i think that the situation is extremely complicated, certainly is. and there's enormous fear, right now could escalate big time. ambassador victoria

this incident. >> yeah. what we know so far and the fbi has confirmed this to us. is there were no weapons found inside the vehicle. that's done after a bomb sweep, they went through the vehicle to make sure there were no weapons on the suspect, but just after 12, 30, they're not sure why this manner in this orange vehicle tried to ram his way into this fbi office. he wasn't able to make it very far because once you get out to fbi agents, were able to surround him. now he was taken to the hospital for an evaluation at that point will be passed over to a police department before being taken to

anticipated rematch in the women's and cwa, a tournament lsu and i were preparing a face-off little over an hour or so from now as the hawkeyes look to avenge their loss in last sears championship game, let's bring in another great sports journalist and cnn contributor bob costas. bob give us a little perspective here, how significant is this game between iowa and lsu to women's college basketball? >> yeah, that's the big question beyond lsu routers and iowa routers and insignificant in that respect, llc, the defending champion beat iowa last year in the final, but here's the point that you're getting to last year's final through 10 million viewers. and that growth in interest in women's college basketball has continued. uconn has a chance to go back to the final four. in fact, uconn could have to men's and women's and nc state already has two men's and women's in there final for uconn one, 11 titles, they've got page bucaram. she's a well-known player, angel reese and flau'jae johnson of lsu, well-known caitlin clark. clark, biggest star in all of women's college basketball. but there are other good players on the team, debbie marshal, for example, in their most recent victory hit four out of five, three pointers. the quality of the women's game has improved exponentially. this may sound like an artist side, but some 40 years ago, i did missouri's men's games on the radio on kml x and st. louis and a lot of times wolfe, i get to the arena in columbia, missouri and the game would say start at 7:00. the men's game and the women's game would be played at 4:00 and they'd be like 200 people in the arena. and the quality of play was so low that you knew that any pick-up team at a high school could easily from right through them. it has improved so much athletically. and in terms of interest. and it just keeps on getting better. and lsu, iowa, or rematch tonight, even though it's not in the final four, it's close, it's in the elite eight. and there was a little bit of a little bit of tension between the two teams. a urine go that works in the men's game and it's working now in the women's games, certainly in as a basketball fan, i love what's going on right now. the washington post, as you probably know, just released the story that paints the lsu head coach kim mulkey as a polarizing figure with a brash manner and tendency to hold a grudge. she's threatened the sioux over all of this. how is all of this potentially you think bob impacting the big game >> i think it's fueling lsu, if anything, is fueling them and at baylor and now at lsu, mulkey has been a polarizing figure she has a very distinctive personality. you don't want i first read that she planned to sue. this was before i read the story. i thought the story be much less favorable towards her than it actually is. i'm not saying it's a hearts and flowers thing. i'm not saying it's a puff piece. it's kinda tougher. honor, but not as bad as you would have feared if you were a big kim mulkey fan, essentially, based on what i know and i'm not that close to the women's game, but based on what i know, it was more or less a fair assessment, she's terrific. she's hard driving. she has been immensely successful and she rubbed some people the wrong way. >> yeah, that's what happens sometimes caitlin clark might be right now and tell me if you agree. the biggest name in all of college basketball men's or women's for that matter, how important is tonight's game to her legacy? >> well, her legacy as a very significant player in an all-time great player. and even though it's apples and oranges, because pete maravich played many fewer games, there was no three-point shot, there was no shot clock. back at lsu and late 1960s when pete maravich set the men's record still, she holds the all-time record. no woman or man has scored as many points and ncw play as caitlin clark. so in that sense, the legacy is set, but she gets back to another final four that, would be pretty good. >> it would be amazed at what enhance it. yeah, it certainly would podcasts. this is usual. thank you. let's continue these conversations down the road. love having you here in

now, the florida supreme court has just clear the way for the state's extremely restrictive six-week abortion ban to take effect, while also allowing voters to decide on a pro abortion rights ballot, ballot measure. this fall right now i want to bring in the president get a planned parenthood. alexis mcgill johnson. alexis, thanks for joining us. first of all, what's your reaction to this decision clearing the way for this proposed constitutional amendment in florida to go on the ballot this november well, i mean, well, first, it is devastating for patients in florida, right? to know that within 30 days a six-week ban could take place in florida. really should be upsetting also, radians right now, all americans, i mean, we're talking about the south that has been dependent on the state state of florida for access to care over these almost two years post roe v. wade post the dobbs decision that really will have an devastating impact on accessing care in the south. and at the same time, paving the way for a ballot initiative for amendment four to move forward. when 1 million floridians have signed on, including some 200,000 republicans. i think that really pretends to create a lot of energy going into 2024. and we know that everywhere we have seen reproductive freedom on the ballot. we have one. and so that actually tempers a little bit of the devastating pain that we are seeing related to patient's decision does allow a florida six-week abortion ban to go into effect and 30 days. what other concerns do you have about that? >> we have seen the consequences of six-week bands across the south. we've seen them in states nearby, like georgia and, and, and, others, in south carolina. we've seen patients travel to florida to get access to care and so that will have a on the infrastructure of providing abortion access a very devastating effect. we have seen the stories come out patients who have not been able to get access to miscarriage care, knowing that in fact, abortion bans have made pregnancy more dangerous. and so i think that over the next six months related to the election, we are going to see what's happening in florida right now. related to patients who are seeking care and we should be deeply concerned about that lots of stake right now, what options, if any, are you planning to pursue that could potentially stop this six-week abortion ban from taking effect? >> well, i mean, the best option right now is to focus on the florida amendment, right. to ensure that we are educating all of floridians around what is at stake right now, we know that 81% of americans do not want their reproductive health care to be regulated by the government. and we know that is true as well in florida. and so our focus is going to be on ensuring this ballot initiative is successful. in stopping the these horrific health care decisions being stripped away from everyday floridians and putting into the hands of folks like, the florida supreme court. so we're going to make sure that floridians have the last word that's our job right now. the proposed amendment >> in florida will need approval from 60% of voters to pass recently in ohio and other state that often votes republican, a measure passed to protect abortion, but with just over 56%, given that how confident are you that floor, this florida amendment will meet them? that high 60% bar >> i'm very confident it will meet the bar. i mean, as i said, everywhere we turn the majority of americans in every state support access to abortion. they do not want the government to own these decisions. they want to own the health care decisions themselves. so we believe just as what we saw, all of the energy that went into a floridians protecting reproductive freedom, we have seen petitions fly off the shelves. we've seen people engaging their fellow neighbors at the grocery store. we have seen people talking about it and union barbara salons because they understand how fundamental reproductive freedom is. for their lives and for their state so i'm very confident that they will meet the 60% threshold. it is what we have seen every time. as i said, reproductive freedom has been on the ballot. we have shown up and we have shown out. and i think that is becoming even more apparent as we have seen attacks on things like reproductive freedom and ivf, right? as we've seen, the impact on pregnancy and miscarriage and as these stories come out, again, stories that are also in florida, we're going to continue to see the impact elsewhere as you mentioned, alexis, this six-week ban will be the latest restrictive law in the south. so what's your advice to women there who need reproductive care? >> think about what that means for the south, right? think about the fact that if you are literally in the northeast where we are and you travel south of virginia, it means you literally have to drive all the way south and make a left and go all the way to new mexico in order to get access to abortion within a month time. that is unconscionable for americans like letting people understand that if you need access to abortion, that literally an entire region of the country has now been devastated by these abortion bans. one out of three, when and more trans and non-binary looks are living in states with abortion bans. and this florida ruling wil, will impact that exponentially. so people need access right now. go to abortion finder.org patient navigators will help you find your way to a provider and and for all those folks who, who can continue to support the kinds of funds that people will need for patient navigation, for travel, for access. we encourage you to do it. you can because we should not be living in a world where an entire region of the country we are no longer free in an evil to take care and make decisions about our own health care, where we actually have to travel out of state in order to get the care that we need. and so i think it's really important for people to understand that. and i think floridians will have something to say about that. the south will have something to say about that just as they just did an alabama last week, we'll see what happens in florida according to alexis mcgill johnson. thank you very much for joining us >> thank you i'm coming up with the >> manhattan district
