Every node is a name pulled from case captions or ledger tags. A line means two names appear together in the same case or the same ledger entry — nothing here was drawn in by hand. Click a node to pinpoint it, see what it connects to, and jump straight to every paragraph in our reporting that names it.
Type a name to find it. Every name is pulled mechanically from case captions, ledger entries and the article corpus — nobody has decided in advance what connects to what. The number is how many records are on file. Selecting a name filters the case list, the ledger and the map to it at once.
Paste a list of names or terms (one per line, or comma-separated). Each gets checked against every case and ledger entry — this tells you what's actually there and what isn't, rather than relying on memory of what you've already looked up.
What's tracked below is what's actually new: the specific rulings, appointments, and dismantlements that followed January 6th, across this president's first and second terms — escalating, cross-referenced, and click-through to the full record. The legal theory behind it is decades old; what's happened with it since Jan. 6 is not. (The 90-year legal backstory is below, collapsed, for anyone who wants the deeper context — it's background, not the headline.)
Sourced entries on judicial independence, DOJ enforcement posture, gifts/pardons, and oversight capacity — tracked separately from the litigation index above because these are actions and disclosures, not lawsuits. To see everything tagged to one person, select them in the Cross-Reference Index above; this list filters to match.
Every entry links to primary or mainstream reporting — nothing here is asserted without a source. Entries appearing near each other in time are not thereby proven connected; where a link between two entries is itself contested (e.g. whether a pardon's timing reflects a quid pro quo), the summary says so explicitly rather than implying it. This ledger is not legal advice and does not allege criminal conduct unless a court has found it.
These are run and updated by other teams, not by this site. Rather than re-hosting their work (and going stale the moment they update), we link straight to them.
