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.Fox News host Tucker Carlson donated $250 to Republican Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, filings from the Federal Election Commission show.
The contributions were first reported by The Hill and confirmed by The Washington Post. The Fox news host reportedly made the contribution on 15 September, 2021.
Mr Carlson is the host of the top-rated cable news show Tucker Carlson Tonight.
Mr Carlson has been one of the biggest promoters of conspiracy theories about January 6, promoting a three-part documentary called “Patriot Purge” that largely sanitises the insurrection on the Capitol.
The Fox News host has featured Ms Greene on his show in the past.
Ms Greene raised $1.18 million in the most recent fundraising quarter from October to the end of December and has $3.5 million in cash on hand for her reelection campaign this November.
