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.The former co-owner of Liverpool Football Club, Tom Hicks, is being sued by a group of former investors in the Texas Rangers who claim he used the Major League Baseball club to enrich himself while he was the owner.
Lawyers for the Rangers' partnership under bankruptcy administrator Alan Jacobs say Mr Hicks bought land for parking and roads to build "a real estate empire on the backs of the Texas Rangers' players and creditors and fans". The suit alleges the Rangers were left "without sufficient money to field a competitive baseball team".
A spokeswoman for Mr Hicks, who lost control of Liverpool last October, said the allegations were "absolutely untrue".
