How do the US federal courts deal with top secret documents in jury trials?

Factual Questions

Obviously Trump inspired, but I’ve got a criminal procedural question that I hope there is a factual answer to.

When the feds are charging someone with possession of classified documents (whether presidential classified or Energy Act (nuclear) classified, how do they handle the security issue in tandem with the proof issue?

Normally, when a document is evidence in a criminal case, the defence counsel are given access to the document, and if it’s used as evidence in court, it gets entered as an exhibit and is shown to the judge and jury; maybe even put on a display screen so the public can see it.

Obviously, if a document is “top secret”, doing all that would defeat the need to keep it secret.

So how do the federal lawyers enter their cases, balancing the accused’s rights and they jury’s duty to assess the facts, with the need to keep the document’s contents confidential?

This issue is touched on in an interview that the New Yorker’s Isaac Chotiner (who is a remarkably incisive interviewer) did with a national-security-law specialist.
