For Journalists — The Evidence Package
On this page
How to Use This
This is a public evidence library, not a news article. Every claim is cited to verifiable public records. The entire site is version-controlled in a [git repository]({{ config.extra.repo_url }}) that anyone can clone. Nothing is anonymous. Nothing is behind a paywall.
You do not need a FOIA request. Everything here comes from publicly accessible databases.
