Primary Source Document Library
The Investigative Journal maintains a curated archive of primary source documents cited in our investigations. Every document linked here is sourced from official public records — including federal court filings (PACER), SEC EDGAR corporate disclosures, IRS Form 990 nonprofit filings, FEC campaign finance reports, state comptroller audits, FOIA responses, and government enforcement actions.
This library serves two purposes: transparency for our readers, and a resource for other journalists, researchers, and watchdog organizations. All documents are organized by the investigation they support and tagged by document type, entity, and government source.
