CNN’s John Avlon on Friday reported that the White House is in a “high degree of chaos” as the administration scrambles to craft a response to the yet-to-be-released Mueller report on Russian meddling in the 2016 elections.

“Basically they want to offer their counter facts, the alternative facts to whatever the Mueller report comes down with,” Avlon said after anchor Poppy Harlow expressed surprise that the administration was nearly 100 pages into a response to an investigation that’s ongoing.
