"Finally, although the Government is mindful of privacy interests of third parties,' we are not aware of any procedure under United States criminal law that allows third parties to exercise input regarding whether or not their names or information about them will be mentioned at a criminal trial, nor would it be legally permissible to conduct a trial under seal or preclude public access to a criminal trial."
