It's been 24 hours since Attorney General Bill Barr announced Special Counsel Robert Mueller has officially concluded his two-year long investigation into the 2016 presidential election.
When the announcement was made late Friday afternoon, the White House had not been briefed on the report.
The next steps are up to Attorney General Barr, and we look forward to the process taking its course. The White House has not received or been briefed on the Special Counsel’s report.— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) March 22, 2019
As of Saturday afternoon, the situation hasn't changed. Deputy White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley told reporters Sanders' statement stands.
Meanwhile, President Trump is in Florida this weekend where he is conducting a series of meetings with foreign leaders and administration officials. He golfed Saturday morning and the White House called an early lid on the traveling press pool.
Pres. Trump in a "great mood" as Washington waits for Attorney General William Barr to act on special counsel report, sources say. https://t.co/THKbO5mYUi pic.twitter.com/hcOBIGd0zr— ABC News (@ABC) March 23, 2019
Attorney General Barr is expected to release a few details about the findings in Mueller's report as early as Sunday.

Attorneys for President Trump have reportedly asked for a briefing on the report before any of its details are made public.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Giuliani: Trump lawyers want early look at Mueller's findings before they are made public.— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) March 22, 2019
Rudy Giuliani in quite a good mood. "Do you see this sun? It's a great day in Washington. The weather got nice as soon as the report was submitted," he just told me by phone. "God loves Republicans. Well, maybe not all of them, but enough."— Elaina Plott (@elainaplott) March 23, 2019
You must be one of those nasty, unkind Christians I’ve heard tell about.
Might sensitive, aren’t you?
The truth is the truth.
Rudy hasn’t just lost a step. He’s lost about 20.
Did you mean to direct that to me?
Of course, I never or almost wear ties any more.
I'm with you on both those statements... but I think I can go one better. I wear an example of one of President Reagan's ties. I used to shop for all my clothes in the National Capitol Region (worked there for over twenty years). Just by chance, I picked out a duplicate!
Still own it. Like you, don't wear ties much.
Crude but the best analysis.
Rockefeller Republicans. Still alive and well.
Never underestimate the value of experience. This battle was on three overlapping fronts. One political, one legal and one executive privilege. Rudy handled the political front using his both his prior legal background and his political background as his authority. Based on the results of recent trends reflected in polls on how the public viewed the Mueller case, I would say the political front has been winning in spite of the full onslaught of the biased media and the Democrat party machine.
I would have to give Rudy more than partial credit for that success.
As for how he may have contributed to the actual legal work in the background I doubt he played much of an active day to day role other than as a sounding board and second opinion about strategy for Trump. Keeping a volatile client on a steady course is a job in itself.
Their anger and sobbing is entertaining.
I agree that Rudy took care of business.
Of course, this is the Swamp, and business there is very messy.
Our grandchildren will be lucky if they can figure out what really went on behind closed doors....
Sorry. NO. It was directed towards the other guy.
I have a similar tie - since ties don’t go with jeans and T-shirts, I have about zero need for them these days...
Think carefully about kindness.
Speaking the truth is a form of kindness almost forgotten these days. That includes speaking the truth to stupid comments.
It’s kind to those who make the comments, to anyone reading them and most importantly to the person the stupid comments were targeting.
The commenters are either without discernment or they’re malignant.
If you can’t understand what Trump is doing for this country and you can’t understand that Giuliani is helping him, then you shouldn’t be making comments.
If you’re against making America great again, you should come out and say it instead of taking passive aggressive shots at people on Trump’s team.
