About This Project

This timeline was assembled from two independent AI-assisted research passes, cross-checked against each other and consolidated by hand. Every event, person, and scandal entry carries a confidence label and a list of the outlets/reports it is drawn from. Where the two source passes disagreed or one had information the other lacked, both were reconciled into a single entry rather than duplicated.
