Lastly, Defendants request that the hearing transcript be filed under seal pending the parties' review for privilege and/confidentiality. Given that the hearing likely will involve discussion of sensitive, and potentially classified information, the Government respectfully requests that the hearing be closed to the public to protect the confidentiality of that information
