Frozen corpus · 5 sources

Evidence snapshot

The source bodies captured at publish time for In May the Pentagon told Congress the Iran war cost "about $29 billion"; on Wednesday the White House asked for $87.6 billion — and the same request reached readers as $67 billion, $80 billion, $87.6 billion, and $88 billion, depending on where each outlet drew the box — each with the quoted spans highlighted at their character offsets. This is the frozen record the audit was checked against.
