Expression: In the know

Hi

Would you say that the idiom in the know sounds natural in everyday English?

  1. I wasn't in the know of the whole matter.
  2. Is the president in the know?

Thanks,

Tom

The expression itself is natural, but we don't say "in the know of ~", so (1) isn't right. (2) is OK.
