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.An asylum seeker from Cameroon who tried to cheat the Aga Khan out of pounds 25,000 was jailed yesterday for six months.
A court heard how a letter from the billionaire racehorse owner was intercepted and altered on its way to his bank in Geneva. The fraudsters forged instructions for the money to be sent to a branch of Barclays Bank in south London, said Keith Stone, for the prosecution, at Inner London Crown Court. Guy Rene Eyene, 37, living in Stockwell, south-west London, told police he was recruited by accomplices to pick up the money from the bank for a pounds 2,000 fee.
