This source cluster now combines two direct 2020 membership-directory artifacts with a direct Charlie Kirk speaker page and several weaker supporting sources about member lists, invitation-only events, and broader conservative-network reporting. The result is enough to support direct Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA overlap claims, while still falling short of a full current network map.
The current Council for National Policy corpus is still mixed in quality, but it is stronger than before. The clearest direct artifacts are now the April 2020 and September 2020 membership directories plus a direct Documented source page for Charlie Kirk's May 2019 general-session remarks. Around that core are several weaker supporting sources: a compiled member-list article from Trump File, a Thread Reader capture about a 2019 Ginni Thomas appearance, a bot-protected Vimeo shell for a Cleta Mitchell and Ginni Thomas CAP update, duplicated Unicorn Riot reporting that names Council for National Policy in a broader school-board dark-money frame, and a Katherine Stewart talk transcript that treats Council for National Policy as one networking organization inside a larger Christian-nationalist machine. This is enough for a durable Council for National Policy entity page and a better-bounded source summary, but not for a large network map or a standalone timeline.
