Justice Department prosecutors stressed that they need continued secrecy so as not to get in the way of the ongoing criminal investigation — especially as they keep grand jury activity confidential and protect witnesses who have or can share information.
In his request, Reinhart said the Department of Justice convinced him that portions of the testimony should remain confidential because “disclosure would reveal (1) the identities of witnesses, law enforcement and unaccused parties, (2) the strategy of the investigation. , direction, scope, sources and methods, and (3) grand jury information.”
He concluded that the Justice Department had fulfilled “its burden of showing that its proposals are strictly tailored to serve the government’s legitimate interest in the integrity of the ongoing investigation, and are the least onerous alternative to sealing the entire statement.”
