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 judge will rule today whether former Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett can sue in the United States over the sale of the club to the owners of the Boston Red Sox.
Hicks and Gillett claim that they were victims of an "epic swindle" over the sale of the club in October last year. At the time, an "anti-suit" order was issued to prevent Hicks and Gillett from suing outside Britain or the European Union, after they attempted to sue in Texas. Last week their lawyers argued in the High Court that the order should be lifted.
Judge Christopher Floyd will also rule on whether former chairman Martin Broughton can seek damages from Hicks.
