Special counsel Robert Mueller just filed a new and extensive motion that is being kept under seal for the grand jury, according to Politico reporter Darren Samuelsohn.
The reporter posted a screen capture from the update showing Mueller made the November update as part of Case Name: In re: Grand Jury Subpoena. It explained, The following transaction was entered on 11/20/2018 3:49:22 PM EST and filed on 11/20/2018.

Politico has been following the secret subpoena as Mueller was locked in some kind of dispute with a witness, who is refusing to give up information requested by the investigators. The information is all under seal, so it makes it difficult for the public to track any specific information other than, the filings and procedures entered into the public record. Because the witness is refusing to cooperate, a process of elimination can likely gather who the witness is not, but that still leaves a number of possibilities.
This can get a step or two weirder than it already is, said one attorney working for a senior staffer of President Donald Trump for the Russia inquiry. The lawyer recalled a case from a previous investigation where he couldnt even get to see a judges opinion because it was under seal.

Could be trump. If the federal court in dc approved a subpoena, it would make sense it would be sealed pending scotus meddling.
That would make sense for a sealed indictment. Someone like asange might fit, where they don't want it public until something else happens.
Probably not junior or dtone. This is part of the legal ping pong that has been going on with hot rails on the federal bench.
Trump males the most sense, but isn't the only option here. And tiny did rail against that court while his turkey pardon unrolled.
