The Special Counsel's Office says they aren't sure if they will call any of the witnesses so they want to file the requests for immunity under seal.
From the filing: “The motions indicate that the named individuals will not testify or provide other information on the basis of their privilege against self-incrimination, and that the government is requesting that the Court compel them to testify at the upcoming trial.”
