On Easter, Jake Tapper reports President Trump says US forces rescued a missing, seriously wounded airman in a risky overnight mission deep inside Iran after more than 24 hours evading capture; CNN details dozens of aircraft, commando units, CIA help, disinformation efforts, and at least two US aircraft lost and destroyed. Trump then posts a profane ultimatum demanding Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz and threatens to target bridges and power plants, prompting discussion of shifting objectives and potential war-crime concerns; former advisor Brett McGurk and a panel debate strategy, messaging, and prospects for a deal. Tapper also interviews Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock on preaching Easter, grace, condemning bigotry and antisemitism, praying for Trump with accountability, and hope. Learn more about your ad choices.
