SUMMARY
Wikimedia Commons file page fetched directly (2026-07-10). The uploader (RailbirdJAM) states on the file description: "This is my personal photo that I took with my camera and may be released to the public domain," and the file is tagged as released into the public domain by its author (self-released own work, not a Creative Commons license). Shows a waist-up photograph of a smiling man in a pinstriped suit and gold tie in a convention-center-style lobby, identified by the uploader as Kevin Trudeau; no independent second archive record was found confirming the sitter's identity, so the identification rests on the uploader's own sourced claim on the file page. A vision-capable review pass (this run) confirmed the described visual content (attire, setting) matches the file page and found nothing inconsistent with the identification. A derivative crop, File:Kevin_Trudeau_cropped.JPG, exists on Commons under the same public-domain terms but was not used (the uncropped original was selected instead).
NOTES

The only free-use, directly identified photograph of Kevin Trudeau found across the four supported archives (Wellcome Collection, Library of Congress, BnF/Gallica, Wikimedia Commons) during a documented search for this case; the identification is anchored to the uploader’s own file-page statement, per the archive’s source-title identification rule.
