US President Donald Trump speaks at The Generation event a White House Forum featuring millennial voters and administration officials
Assad has been blamed for previous attacks by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and UN-backed war crimes investigators.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Wednesday that the President has "very deep concern about the direction that the special counsel and other investigations have taken".
Mattis also ignored a question about whether he was concerned about telegraphing US military moves in Syria, a question appearing to refer to Trump's earlier tweet on Wednesday. "Everybody's gonna pay a price". Open area immediately for medical help and verification.
Sanders says, "The president holds Syria and Russian Federation responsible for this chemical weapons attack". The reports could not immediately be independently verified.
He said at least one chemical was used - chlorine, which also has legitimate industrial uses and had not previously triggered a US military response.
On Tuesday, Trump cancelled his first official trip to Latin America so he could focus on Syria. He has previously told his national security team he wants United States troops to exit Syria within six months.
Images released by the Syrian Civil Defense White Helmets, a volunteer organization, show children lying on the ground motionless and foaming at the mouth.
Since February 18, the Syrian government's Ghouta offensive has killed more than 1,600 civilians.
The tweet was criticized by some lawmakers and military analysts who questioned the wisdom of the president publicly telegraphing his move - something Trump denounced former President Barack Obama for doing.

Pressed on Russia's role in the suspected chemical weapons attack, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin - who backs the Syrian regime - "may" bear responsibility. "This is one of those issues on which every nation, all peoples, have all agreed and have agreed since World War II, it's an unacceptable practice", Bossert said.
French President Emmanuel Macron said in a statement that a target of the strike was the Syrian government's "clandestine chemical arsenal". These are awful photos. U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, have since reported around 10 suspected chemical attacks of varying scale and certainty. The national security team is expected to meet at the White House Thursday for further discussions, according to three sources familiar, but it is not clear if the President will take part in that meeting. Bolton has previously advocated significant airstrikes against Syria.
Sanders said "the only individuals" responsible for the suspected chemical attack "don't reside in this country". "The Assad regime & its backers MUST END their barbaric behavior". Even as the White House, after some delay, imposed tough new sanctions on Russian Federation in the wake of its USA election meddling and suspected poisoning of a former spy on British soil, Trump left it to others in his administration to deliver the rebukes to Moscow.
The White House once said the president did not intend to fire them but now the president says he has that authority to fire Mueller and deputy attorney.
On the one hand, the tweet could be put down to Trump's unique and unconventional way of communicating, which infuriates the Washington establishment and delights his supporters.
Meanwhile, Theresa May, the British prime minister, said that the Syrian government "and its backers, including Russian Federation, must be held to account" if it is found to be responsible for dropping chemical weapons on Douma residents.
Mattis said the targets selected by U.S., British and French officials were meant to minimize civilian casualties. But Obama pulled back after key US ally Britain, as well as Congress, balked.
But many of Syria's most sensitive military facilities are protected by Russian missile defence systems or are located at bases where Russian, Iranian and Syrian personnel cohabit. "Animal Assad would have been history!"
