TAPPER: "The commander who oversaw the January raid in Yemen which resulted in the deaths of Navy SEAL Ryan Owens and several Yemeni civilians testified on Capitol Hill today. General Joseph Votel said he’s ultimately responsible for the mission’s outcome and that the U.S. did gain valuable intelligence from the raid. He added that a comprehensive review found no lapses in judgment or decision making. Let’s get right to CNN’s Barbara Starr at the Pentagon. Barbara, what new details are we learning about the raid itself?"
