This edition is the complete daily record. Reports remain separate so readers can see each claim, source set, correction, and update without one article being mislabeled as the entire edition.
This edition is a reminder that Trump’s biggest enemy is often Trump: when the legal stakes rise, he reaches for the loudest possible response, and the fallout gets worse, not better.

5 stars means maximum fallout. 1 star means a smaller self-own.
