THE LEAD STORY - 'WE'VE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES': Under fire for a privacy scandal that has rocked his company, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg repeatedly apologized for his company's failures in protecting users' data in five hours of questioning before the Senate on Tuesday ... Zuckerberg testified before a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees amid an ongoing controversy over the gathering of user data by Cambridge Analytica, a firm affiliated with Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. The Facebook co-founder also told lawmakers he was "not specifically aware" of any instance where the social network had removed content posted by liberal groups amid concerns that the platform is biased against conservatives. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told Zuckerberg that "a great many Americans" are "deeply concerned that Facebook and other tech companies are engaged in a pervasive pattern of bias and political censorship." Zuckerberg returns to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. ROSENSTEIN ON BORROWED TIME?: President Trump was so furious about the FBI's raid on the office and home of his personal attorney Michael Cohen that he reportedly has considered firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein ... Sources told the Associated Press that the raid left Trump more angry than advisers has seen him in weeks. Trump believes Russia Special Counsel Robert Mueller went too far with the raid on Cohen, and Monday's action was designed only to bring down his presidency and ruin his attorney's life, sources said. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said during the daily briefing with reporters that President Trump 'certainly believes' he has the power to fire Mueller. However, she said, he is not acting to do so. Under Justice Department regulations, only Rosenstein, who oversees the Russia investigation, can fire Mueller. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, a bipartisan group of four senators moved to protect Mueller's job. Republican Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Democratic Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware and Cory Booker of New Jersey reportedly planned to introduce legislation Wednesday that would give any special counsel a 10-day window in which he or she could seek expedited judicial review of a firing, two people familiar with the legislation told the Associated Press. POSSIBLE STORMFRONT IN MUELLER PROBE: The Justice Department raid on the office and hotel room of top Trump lawyer Michael Cohen on Monday is, one expert says, likely a telltale sign that Special Counsel Robert Mueller may have found significant evidence regarding a payment Cohen made to adult film star Stormy Daniels ... "This is an extremely important development. This is Watergate-level stuff," Ken White, a former federal prosecutor, said to Fox News. "Searching an attorney's office — at least by the feds — is a rather extreme move that you usually only see with lawyers in the thick of criminal enterprises. It's quite unusual." The raid creates a new legal headache for President Donald Trump as he and his attorneys weigh whether to consent to an interview with Mueller's team. WEIGHING OPTIONS ON SYRIA: Trump administration officials consulted with global allies Tuesday on a possible joint military response to Syria's alleged poison gas attack, as President Trump canceled a foreign trip in order to manage a crisis that is testing his vow to stand up to Syrian President Bashar Assad ... Trump spoke with other world leaders, and other U.S. officials said the U.S., France and Britain were in extensive consultations about launching a military strike as early as the end of this week. None of the three countries' leaders had made a firm decision, according to the officials, who were not authorized to discuss military planning by name.
