ESPIONAGE? Prosecutors said that they have new classified information about a former US official who asd a relationship with a Taiwanese spy

Laufman told Ellis that the government does not plan to share its new evidence with Keyser because it is confidential, a plan Keyser's lawyer, Robert Litt of the prestigious Washington law firm of Arnold & Porter, indicated the defense would challenge.

If the judge in the end denies the government bid to open the case to new charges, he might allow the new classified information to be admitted to bolster the government's case in the three charges Keyser has already admitted, speeding the proceedings.
