Television news crews worked outside the Department of Justice building on Wednesday in Washington ahead of Thursday morning's release of the special counsel's report.

WASHINGTON – Not all of Robert Mueller's findings will be news to President Donald Trump when they are released Thursday morning.

Justice Department officials have had numerous conversations with White House lawyers about the conclusions made by Mueller, the special counsel, in recent days, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. The talks have aided the president's legal team as it prepares a rebuttal to the report and strategizes for the coming public war over its findings.
