   November 2026: Rebuilt the account from the special prosecutor's final report, court opinions, the Nixon Library tape logs and Nixon's own August 1974 statements, and corrected the conviction count (69 people indicted or charged, with convictions documented case by case rather than a single "48"), the Senate hearings start date (May 17, 1973), the description of the June 23, 1972 "smoking gun" tape and the Mark Felt details. It also notes the March 2026 death of Alexander Butterfield and the Hoover Institution's September 2026 project to transcribe the Nixon White House tapes.
