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.Jeremy Clarkson's ex-wife yesterday described to MPs the "terrifying" moment when she discovered the Top Gear presenter had taken out an injunction to stop her writing about their relationship.
Giving evidence to the Joint Committee on Privacy and Injunctions, Alex Hall said she had planned to write a book about the effects of having a relationship with a celebrity and told Clarkson what she was going to do. The couple allegedly continued a 10-year-long affair after they divorced and he remarried.
She said: "About a week later there was an injunction on me. I had no idea about what to do with this injunction, it was just terrifying. I started to shake and I haven't stopped since." Mr Clarkson later withdrew the injunction which he described as "pointless".
