2. documented

   The Kraft record joins documented Trump access to separate legal and institutional outcomes. Kraft Group gave $1 million to Trump's 2017 inaugural committee; reporting later described Robert Kraft brokering direct access for Paul Weiss, and Trump appointed Kraft's wife Dana to the Kennedy Center board. Robert Kraft was charged with two misdemeanor solicitation counts; courts suppressed the surveillance and prosecutors dropped the charges, while four spa workers entered guilty pleas and one spent 60 days in custody. Kraft-controlled institutions separately accumulated NFL sanctions, environmental enforcement, a pollution class settlement and an app-privacy settlement. The record distinguishes personal charges, board service, entity sanctions, settlements and denied allegations; it does not convert company liability into a personal conviction or establish that Kraft's donation purchased Dana's appointment.
