"Special counsel Robert Mueller appeared to be locked in a subpoena battle with a recalcitrant witness Friday in a sealed federal appeals courtroom."
"Oral arguments in the highly secretive fight played out behind closed doors under tight security. Officials at the U.S. Courthouse in Washington, D.C. even took the extraordinary measure of shutting down to the public the entire fifth floor, where the hearing was taking place."

@porsupah Hard to tell what this is yet. Reporters I follow who have been watching this subpoena battle believe this is maybe John Kelly or some other high-level staffer, given the flow of sealed motions over the past weeks on this one.
It does make one wonder, though.

@Goldkin It's certainly an unusual step in security, and for now, yep, it doesn't really seem anybody knows, outside those directly involved. =:/
Some good speculation here, though:

@porsupah Update: new filing today shows the subject is a corporation of a foreign sovereign. The plot thickens. https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1075151045146357761

@Goldkin Iiiinteresting! I wonder what the referenced exemptions are? With the Mueller team members known to be present, maybe something owned by the House of Saud?
