Looks like the WH is concerned about potentially damaging revelations in the Special Counsels report, and are particularly concerned about the testimony of former WH counsel, Don McGahn, who gave over thirty hours of testimony to the SC to answer their questions.
I normally don't cite the boobs at Newmax as a source, but they're the only ones available right now.
ABC: McGahn Interviews of 'Significant Concern' for WH in Mueller Report | Newsmax.com
Why might they be concerned about what McGahn said? Well, McGahn saw all of the following.
He saw all of that and much of it could demonstrate Trump using his powers unlawfully, politicizing the DOJ, and obstructing lawful investigations. In particular, I think the requests that Trump made to the DOJ to prosecute Clinton and other Democrats, might be the worst element of all, making Trump look like Nixon.
I don't know whether we'll see all of McGahn's testimony in the report, or in his 302's with the FBI (which the House might have to request), but it won't be pretty, bet on that kiddies.

"There is significant concern on the president's team about what will be in this report and will be unredacted," Karl told ABC News' "This Week" on Sunday. "The good news is already out there."
"There is significant concerns about what will be in here – new information on the obstruction of justice question, on what the president was doing regarding some of the big questions," Karl told host George Stephanopoulos.
". . . What worries them most is what Don McGahn told the special counsel. Former White House counsel Don McGahn has visibility on all of this."
Why might they be concerned about what McGahn said? Well, McGahn saw all of the following.
- The motivation to stop the FBI's investigation.
- The motivation for firing Comey.
- The demands for Sessions to unrecuse himself and not follow DOJ guidelines.
- The requests to Coats and Rogers to persuade the FBI to stop the Russia investigation.
- The attempts to fire the Special Counsel.
- The requests to the DOJ become political and prosecute Trump's political enemies, a'la Nixon.
