Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders responded on Twitter moments ago, confirming that the White House has not yet 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.

President Trump's two top lawyers, Jay Sekulow and Rudy Giuliani, released a joint statement that reads in part: “We’re pleased that the Office of Special Counsel has delivered its report to the Attorney General pursuant to the regulations ... Attorney General Barr will determine the appropriate next steps.”
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer reacted in a joint statement, echoing the voices of other prominent Democrats: "It is imperative for Mr. Barr to make the full report public."
The American people have a right to the truth. The watchword is transparency. #ReleaseTheReport https://t.co/ZM1fBhn5RM

Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept summarized the events of today thusly: "The Mueller investigation is complete and this is a simple fact that will never go away: not one single American was charged, indicted or convicted for conspiring with Russia to influence the 2016 election - not even a low-level volunteer. The number is zero."
