4:02 am
>> frankly, a real disgrace. an attack on our country in a sense. it's an attack on what we all stand for. >> reporter: the raids took place at cohen's home, office, and hotel room. they were carried out by the u.s. attorney's office in manhattan. a person familiar with the case said agents seized evidence as part of an investigation into possible campaign finance violations and bank fraud. the records taken included cohen's communications with clients including mr. trump. cohen's lawyer called the raids completely inappropriate and unnecessary. he said the case originated in the office of the special counsel, robert mueller. >> they find no collusion, and then they go from there and say, well, let's keep going. >> reporter: the president was asked if he planned to dismiss the special counsel. >> why don't i just fire mueller? well, i think it's a disgrace what's going on. we'll see what happens. but i think it's really a sad situation when you look at what happened.

>> reporter: this could be the most important stop on zuckerberg's apology tour -- capitol hill, where the facebook founder swapped his t-shirt for a suit and waded through throngs of reporters. >> mr. zuckerberg? what's your message in these meetings? >> reporter: his goal was to grease the skids before two days of hearings where zuckerberg will be the sole witness. he explained to senators like florida democrat bill nelson how several outside companies managed to harvest data from unsuspecting facebook users. >> if we don't do something now, none of us will have any privacy anymore. >> reporter: nelson said zuckerberg was forthright but also naive for failing to act more quickly when political consulting firm cambridge analytica accessed personal information from up to 87 million facebook users in 2015. did he say why facebook never told anyone about this? >> he did not.
4:05 am
that will be a question. >> reporter: facebook began alerting affected individuals 2.5 years after the incursion. and it announced it was forming an independent election research commission to examine the effects of social media on democracy. it's an attempt to counteract the impression stoked on "saturday night live" that the apology had been insincere. >> on behalf of everyone at facebook, i'm sorry. on opposite day -- >> reporter: according to his prepared testimony, zuckerberg is going to tell the senators in this hearing room, 44 of them, that facebook's original mission of connecting people isn't enough anymore, that the company needs to do more to make sure that those connections are positive. nancy cordes, cbs news, capitol hill. ahead on "cbs this morning," south dakota senator john thune
