joe, fetched directly and archived 2026-09-08 (MD5 c72ac643b40f5d2079478aa5edcfdec2). The article gives no day for the June filing. It states the investor meeting two ways, 'set to meet on Thursday' in its summary and 'held a meeting on Friday' in its body; we carry neither day. The Kushner introduction is single-sourced to an unnamed person and is carried as a reported fact only.
