A: The number of sealed indictments can change frequently, and this information is not typically made public.

Sealed indictments are, by nature, confidential until they are unsealed. The exact number at any given time is not publicly available information. Even if such a count existed, it would likely be classified or restricted to certain government officials.

If you're looking for general statistics on federal criminal cases, you might be able to find some aggregate data from sources like the United States Courts' website or reports from the Department of Justice. However, these would not include information on sealed indictments.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information on federal criminal proceedings, it's best to consult with a legal professional or contact the relevant federal court districts directly.
