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.A third woman has come forward to lodge sexual harassment allegations against the Republican presidential hopeful, Herman Cain.
Mr Cain, a former pizza chain executive, had climbed to the top of opinion polls in the contest to select a challenger to President Barack Obama in 2012. But the allegations from when Mr Cain was head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s could threaten his standing.
The woman, who came forward on Wednesday, said Mr Cain made sexually suggestive remarks or gestures around the same time two co-workers settled separate harassment complaints against him. His staff said the allegations were a "smear campaign" and accused rival Rick Perry's team of being behind the original stories – claims that were strenuously denied.
