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 judge in Chile has closed the case on the death of President Salvador Allende after an authoritative autopsy confirmed it was suicide.
An international panel of experts convened by Judge Mario Carroza determined that Mr Allende took his own life with an AK-47 while defending the presidential palace in Chile's 1973 coup.
Mr Carroza ruled out the possibility that a soldier or bodyguard fired the fatal shots.
He also disproved a range of other myths surrounding Mr Allende's death 38 years ago.
Mr Allende was among 726 people who died or disappeared when General Augusto Pinochet seized power, and whose cases were stuck in the courts since then.
Mr Carroza is studying these cases anew under orders from the Supreme Court.
