What this collection covers
The focus is Donald Trump, his family, businesses and political network. The historical record reaches back to the 1950s, alongside investigations of his presidencies and other major US-connected corruption cases. These are selected case files, not a count of crimes or a ranking of people.

Reading the evidence
A conviction, a civil finding, an allegation and an inference mean different things. Each case explains the conduct at issue, the legal outcome recorded by its sources, and relevant responses. A complaint states a party’s allegations; a government announcement gives the agency’s account. Neither is automatically a court finding.
Reporting can reveal a trail that official records help explain. Advocacy and opinion are identified as such. Several outlets repeating one report do not provide independent confirmation.
Dates and amounts
Dates belong to particular events and documents. A review date does not make an older court decision a statement of today’s legal position. Likewise, company revenue, personal income, investment value, fines and victim repayments are different measures.
Clemency records
The first-term register and second-term register link to official grants and relevant case files. A name on a clemency roster is not an allegation of corruption. The terms of each grant determine its effect; pardons and commutations do not all cancel the same obligations.
