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.A freelance air hostess, Kathleen Denham, was yesterday cleared of trying to claim more than pounds 1m in insurance on her ex-husband's faked death. Ms Denham, 38, of Feltham, west London, denied theft of pounds 15,000 from Cornhill Insurance and five charges of attempting to obtain cash from insurance companies. He took out 12 life insurance policies, Isleworth Crown Court was told. Cornhill paid out on one, but other companies refused. She said she had been forced to continue with the claims because he had made threats on her life.
