olson is a washington fixture. and has deeper ties to the justice department. and more experience in major cases than any of the president's current lawyers. but in just the last hour or so, chris, ted butros who is austin's partner at the law firm gibson dunn, wrote on twitter, i can confirm that gibson and olson will not be representing trump. while olson isn't joining the team, we do know that just yesterday the president added joe digenova to his team. the former federal prosecutor and fox news regular who's pushed the idea that the president is the target of an elaborate fbi conspiracy. so clearly the president's patience, judging by his twitter feed, his patience with the russia investigation is running out. his team of lawyers advised him some time ago that the special counsel investigation would be wrapped up by the end of 2017. clearly that hasn't happened. so the president is making some adjustments here to his legal team accordingly, chris. >> all right, we're going to talk a lot more about all of this. i want to go to kacie. what are lawmakers saying about facebook and zuckerberg coming potentially to testify? does there seem to be a movement in that direction to co
