But incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer told \"Good Morning America\" earlier today that Trump \"absolutely, 100 percent\" had an open mind going into the meeting.

\"I think he's prepared to listen and understand how they got to the conclusions they did,\" Spicer said.

\"The president-elect, I think, has a healthy skepticism of everything, and that's important. People need to know that when decisions are made -- and we've seen this in the past -- that a rush to judgment is not in the country's best interest.”

During a call with reporters before the briefing, Spicer listed the members of Trump's staff who would be accompanying the president-elect at the meeting: White House chief of staff Reince Priebus; incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn; incoming Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland; incoming Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Thomas Bossert; and Trump's nominee for CIA director, Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan.

The group was going to be briefed by CIA Director John Brennan, NSA Director Mike Rogers, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and FBI Director James Comey, according to Spicer.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., earlier today said the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” senators were briefed on the report on Capitol Hill about alleged Russian hacking, calling the findings \"stunning.\"

The classified report was delivered to the White House Thursday morning, according to a senior U.S. official. Obama had directed the intelligence community to produce a report reviewing malicious cyberactivity related to the presidential election cycle, including the alleged Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee.

The president also asked intelligence officials to review a pattern of malicious cyberactivity from foreign actors dating back to 2008.

The report was expected to show evidence the intelligence community has gathered to show Russia was behind the hack and release of emails and documents from the DNC, Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz said last month.

It was being crafted by senior national security and intelligence officials, including the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA and others.

ABC News' John Parkinson and Arlette Saenz contributed to this report.
