Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Letter: Clinton vs puritans

Sir: The US Congress, in releasing the Starr report on to the Internet, are guilty of astonishing hypocrisy. How can those politicians complain about pornography being available on the Internet when they themselves have placed on the net a sexually explicit report. How can children be prevented from seeing it? A simple search against the name Clinton will enable any child to view its contents.

It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the only purpose of the Starr report, having found no evidence of financial impropriety on the President's part, was to cause him as much embarrassment as possible.
