I think that any such meeting might be a violation of ethics. Judges are not supposed to have ex-parte conversations with parties to litigation.
In matters of National Security, the Congress has executive sessions, but I’ve never heard of such a thing for the Supreme Court. We’ll see what happens.
I think an “orientation” that brought the Executive Branch to the Judicial Branch was, possibly, a little tutorial on Constitutional Crisis, mathematical probabilities, *international law, acts of war, and partly current national security implications, (Intel), if justices are left ignorant of modern Chinese capabilities in infiltration methods, via voting machine technology, and Law.
Trump is petitioning as a candidate. I think his petition was secondary, if even mentioned.
That meeting was likely void of persons and names and full of law and the powers of correction.
I had actually wondered how these Justices could make certain that their decisions were Informed ones.
There’s no book for this kind of crisis. And, if that azz Biden can be shared classified intel, and the Legislative Branch is in Limbo, then Judicial needs a clue.
Lawyer to lawyer. No?

Re: briefing SCOTUS in secret
I agree, such ex parte briefings would be extraordinary. But I don’t think they are prohibited by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Courts also have additional rules. I can’t speak to that. It’s been a few years...so my experience is old. These are extraordinary times.
