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.

Watch as Karine Jean-Pierre holds a White House press briefing on Thursday 6 April.

She took questions on the same week that former US president Donald Trump was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

A few days ago, Ms Jean-Pierre and the White House refused to be drawn on Mr Trump’s arrest.

“So first, I have to say this. It’s an ongoing case, so we’re just not going to comment on the case specifically itself,” she said at a press briefing.

“The president is going to focus on the American people like he does every day,” she added, speaking of Joe Biden.

She was also seen joking with reports on Tuesday that she “loved” questions regarding Mr Trump being asked “in different ways”.
