Sources say the initial response will look much as it did when Mueller first transmitted the report to Barr late last month, which was expressing relief over Barr’s general conclusions.
Barr and a select few of his associates have been reviewing Mueller's 400-plus page report in recent weeks and making redactions. ABC News has learned that the White House has received a broad briefing on the report -- described as non-specific in nature, focused mostly on the mechanics of the report itself -- including that it will be divided into sections on obstruction and collusion and that certain portions will be redacted, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller walks past the White House after attending services at St. John's Episcopal Church, in Washington, March 24, 2019. "I heard it's going to come out on Thursday. That's good. And there can't be anything there because there was no crime. There was no anything," Trump told ABC News affiliate KTSP Monday in Minnesota. "The crime was committed by the other side. This crime was all made up. It was all a fabrication."
ABC FAKE NEWS REPORT 68932 :
Why would they need to aggressively respond to being exonerated? Report on that
If this guy worked as hard for the people that he does for his lawyers to protect his own interests, he could be successful. Voted in to help the people not the lawyers payroll.
Lies lies and more lies being prepared!!!
Of course pmurt is. pmurt wants to stay head of what he knows so him and his spin doctors can start the lying to discredit the report.
Had enough of Trump and his actions, meddling and corruption of the law. He's not the kind of President that this country needs. The Republicans stand by and let him do what he wants because he thinks he's above the law.
open mouth and lies fall out
So, realDonaldTrump, you’ve been claiming complete exoneration. As many Americans are asking, why did you demand to be briefed on the report and need to “prepare an aggressive defense”? Innocent people don’t need to do so. I can’t recall Hillary ever preparing anything..🤔
Barr should be forced out of his position for conspiring with the WH to discredit the report and everyone involved with it. Trumpy is already gaslighting his base to save himself. We ALL need to see the full interacted report ASAP!
Really that’s news? No we’re gonna wait and do nothing. Why are you wasting our time?
Seems like good tactics. You prepare for the bad then if it turns out good you exalt it.
Time for bussiness at the border & beyond this 3 year Fake barrage balloon.
Aggressive. You mean they will put Sarah our thete before it’s released
An aggressive response? He said he was innocent.
It was a fluke that you were elected. It will not happen again 🤔
Sources=No one, we just make shit up.
Unnamed sources = FAKE NEWS
Why?
This is just so wrong on many levels. The Constitution and laws of the country are under attack by this administration. The only reason I can come up with is Total control of the US and dictatorship. To release it right before a religious weekend. Total class?🤪
That means that they want to play politics with it..
TrumpColluded
Because that’s what vindicated people do......right....
As they should. And the MSM will continue to be lackeys for the Democrats! Way to go ABC! Disney must be proud!
No..no.. Bill Barr is investigating why the Trump Campaign was spied on
Guilty is as guilty does.
I thought it 'exonerated' him? Why do they need to spin it? Trump should have asked AG Barr to get the redactions revealed. Truth is Barr is a hack and Trump and the family was up to no good. TrumpCrimeSyndicate
Again, If there’s “No Collusion - No corruption “ like realDonaldTrump says, why do they need a counter report?
So sick of this. Democrats have done nothing to help America since Trump was elected. They have only wasted taxpayers money going on wild goose chases.
We already know the results.
You lost me at 'sources tell...'
WHO BELIEVES POTUS. THE DUMIES WHO DONT LIKE THE TRUTH
“Sources.”
Does anyone forget Barack Obama's bulshit stories on Benghazi and Fast and Furious? At least this president has transparency and is talking to the American public. This is far more than the Democratic Messiah Barack Obama ever did
Tell the DOTARD to shut up. How can he issue a response to the Mueller report if he hasn’t seen it.
Excellent , announcing the start of investigations into corruption behind the toxic Russian hoax.
👍👍👍👍
Now justice who star this fake collussion ....
I thought everything was cool dog?
President Trump, you seem tired sir. Is it time to retire? Before anything, I can totally understand your decision as a man. Business. Family. America. If those three words leave you breathless, then President Trump, I recommend you take care of yourself first.
realDonaldTrump
We'll /USA will be fine,ABCBSNBCNN not so much!!!
If he is so innocent, why the response?
It they haven’t t seen the report yet remember - oh wait 🤥 🤥 🤥 realDonaldTrump
MoveOn It’s time to put some perpetrators of this hoax in prison! ....And maybe get some smarter, less biased “news people”? Try something new, like a journalist
I will be voting against this administration comes November 2020!!! White privileged
Aggressive? How about look out crooked Dems.
Guilty only a guilty verdict needs a response. I have seen Trump's work from early years and everything are bankrupt - he doesn't want to pay back loans. He is taking all the money of Americans taxpayers
Because Trump is guilty AF
I’m sure he’ll be up all night dreaming up excuses for all negative comments in the report. Plus he probably needs to come up with some new excuses for not releasing his income taxes.

This man is a fraud and is SO DAMN GUILTY, it is sickening!!
“While President Donald Trump and the White House are uncertain about what exactly will be revealed in special counsel Robert Mueller's report when Attorney General William Barr clears its release to the public on Thursday, sources say they are preparing an aggressive response.”
Then President Bill Clinton got to see the Starr report and make his rebuttal. Kenneth Starr was just on TV stating that very fact. President has every right to see the report and make a rebuttal.
It says “response ahead of the release”....as in a response to the left & media reaction to the release.....not a response TO the actual release!! RepJerryNadler already had a reaction to the release....🤯already calling it a cover up!!
ABC shouldn't be wasting their time on this RussiaHoax they should reporting on the Avalanche coming...lots of indictments...leading all the way to Obama White House ....time for them to lawyer up!
trump n his lawyers should be prepared from spins n twists that will surely come from fake news media n dems. the most important truth is clear: NO AMERICAN WAS CHARGED/INDICTED FOR COLLUSION/OBSTRUCTION.
If the report completely exonerates him, as he repeatedly claims, why does he need an 'aggressive response'?
No collusion, that's what he said. Then why the panic. Release the whole report and let us make up our own minds.
Why?
oh like BarrCoverUp BullshitBarr presser? BoycottBarrPressConference
I thought the report proved he was innocent? 🤷🏽♂️ his supporters will still worship him regardless of what’s in it.
No collusion
Well, duh.
That's a face only a warden could love.
How do you prepare a response before you see the report?
“Aggressive”. ABC adding their spin again. They and others have lied to us for 2.5 years. You’d think they’d show some remorse.
Why? Mr; Trump! Didn't you say; ' I don't mind if they see the whole thing, why the sudden change of mind, have you got something to hide?'
If there is nothing there why do they need an agressive response?
Bet Trumps team is doing everything possible to keep him off Twitter ! I read that he has executive time in the morning, a meet and greet with Melania with him, then off to Florida again. Then out come his ghouls. Conway, Giuliani, Sanders. 🙄
An aggressive response to a report That completely exonerated Trump? Why? Because it doesn’t exonerate him, that’s why. They have to spin it for the base. The rest of us are not that gullible.
It’s sad that, instead of doing his job a President, Trump is spending his energy trying spin public opinion in an effort to convince weak minded people to ignore the facts being detailed in the Mueller Report!
WH prepares, as Donnie gets ready to dash outrun away ....to marlogho ....tonight
And they should be treated as the constant liars Trump is—not believable after thousands of lies already.
And the coverup continues. The propaganda continues. They’re fighting hard to keep information from the public. Again, if the report vindicates Trump and members of his administration why all the maneuvering. He said 2 yrs of investigation exonerated him, then let it rip!
WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump Why do need an aggressive response if you’ve done nothing wrong, Donnie?
You mean a truthful response. Aggressive is your go to word due to fact you don’t like what Mueller found. NADA.
An aggressive response of lies Can’t wait 😊
Yet they are breaking the law again even in the release of the report! Trump has seen it before the American People, before Congress Barr must be Impeached!!!
Wow- it looks as though the MSM JUST got the DEMOCRAT talking points. Journalistic integrity doesn’t exist any longer- news is a joke
I thought everything was cool.........guess that was a lie......the darkest comedy administration
Just because I’m bored.
If they did nothing wrong, why do they need an aggressive response?
Why if he is innocent and exonerated? NOT!
I hope so he deserves that much for what you people put him through.
So, I really want the total report and the actual truth of Muller telling us. No offense, I dont want to hear a cover up report. That isn't good enough. I want to hear from Muller so there is no question about the report. Js
Trump realDonaldTrump can use all the money he has to silence the mueller report but the public will get it. Trump is a cheat and a scoundrel
Can’t beat Democrats and ABC News. They already have their response written.
How does one respond to something has not been read or released?
WHY HE IS INNOCENT I THOUGHT !! HE TOLD THE MEDIA NO COLLUSION, HE TOLD THE MEDIA IT WAS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY !! SO WHY PREPARE A REBUTTAL IF THERE IS NOTHING TO BE FOUND
Media blackout tomorrow morning.
Why?
All of their responses have to be aggressive to keep up with the fake news main stream media lies. MSM sucks
That already tells us the report does not exonerate him.
Good! The libs will never give up on this shit!! We ought to impeach Mueller. I seen him down at the Kroger stealing Lettuce. I called him out on it and he had his security guards frisk me!! I was shaking with rage. I got a video if you want it
This totally how innocent people act... 🙄
Of COURSE it is going to be aggressive! When you do not have intelligence on your side, all you have is aggression. And Trump is as big and dumb as a man can come.
Barr has been telling Trump what the report says, so he can prepare a statement. That's great, Barr. I guess you are what Trump wanted all the time from the AG. He wanted to use him as his personal lawyer, and Barr is making it come true.
Only the guilty go to these lengths to cover up the findings of a 22 month investigation in which they were the subject. BarrCoverUp TrumpGuiltyAsSin
Fine, dance for rain, send up smoke, use magic rocks.. TRUMP IS DONE.. BARR IS DONE..
Why? William Barr already said the report exonerates Trump. What is trump so afraid of? I don’t think it’s anything to do with criminality. He is just terrified that this will have a negative impact on his reputation. Doesn’t give a shit about the American people
The face of fear mixed with depression. Trump knows what he has done and is scared out of his mind.
And the heads on the left continue to explode 😂😂😂🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
He needs to tan under his eyes
Odd. Trump was celebrating how it completely exonerated him.
WHY? He’s innocent right? He’s said it all along. So WHY Why ComradeDonald?
According to the New York Times the WH has had plenty of information/time to prepare. From Canada, your democracy is in a constitutional crisis. My humble opinion.
AG Barr has already told them what’s in the report so they can get the early spin! Unethical and Corrupt!
...as one does when one is totally innocent and completely exonerated
Why is this needed? Trump told me the report totally exonerated him. I am looking forward to the release of the full report and then the follow up impeachment hearings. ImpeachTrump
BoycottBarr
Oooooh! Agressive response! My bunny slippers just ran for cover! Seriously, though, when is Trump not agressive? He only has one setting. Kind of like a old ruptured vacuum cleaner that sucks and blows at the same time.
How do you prepare an aggressive response BEFORE it’s come out if you still claim you never saw it....?
Aggressive responses are driven by damaging their information
So the only way they could prepare a response is if they were given a copy of it ahead of time...
AGGRESSIVE? ROBUST but will it be VIGOROUS?
Its not going to be the Mueller report, it will be the Barr (I’ll protect you Boss)report
Hopefully that aggressive response will be to resign
An aggressive response to a total exoneration. Huh.
What...for a report that exonerates? It must be bad...& releasing on a holiday weekend too? Well guess what? We're not going to forget!
Were coming for you realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump
When is a constitutional crisis a constitutional crisis?
The same way y’all made an aggressive response before mueller said a word on it?
How can they respond to a document they haven't seen and one which they have been telling everyone, exonerates don of everything? Hmmmm.
'Sources'? SO.... you're just going to keep this up then?
OrangeManBad
Trump. Impeached
One cannot ‘respond ahead of’ in either English or reality
Barr fully briefed them on everything Mueller reported.
They have response for report they havent seen. Wink. Wink.
Barr Press Conference: Barr: “I’ll allow 3 questions today.” Reporter: “How can we ask questions when we haven’t seen the report?” B: “That’s one!” R: “Are you kidding me?!?” B: “That’s two.” R: “W.T.F.?” B: “Have a nice day.”
Barr tampered Mueller report
