===== Important caveats / things not clearly proven =====
* While the timeline shows what happened and when, it does not definitively prove that policy decisions by the U.S. government (or by Trump himself) were caused by the business/financial ties. Establishing legal causation is harder.
* Some of the business deals are announced but may still be in development; some details (financial terms, timing, earnings) may be opaque or still unfolding.
* The Trump Organization stated that licensing deals are independent of the presidency; likewise, Kushner and his firm have denied that the investment created improper influence. (But critics dispute the strength of those denials.)

If you like, I can pull together a downloadable PDF with the timeline + citations + key players + a one-page “risk/concern” summary (which you could use for a briefing or client material). Would you like that?
