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.

Outlook Has the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) made up for its embarrassment over the millionaire Tchenguiz brothers with a long-awaited result in the case of Asil Nadir?

To be found guilty on three charges of theft has been more than 20 years in the making for the Polly Peck tycoon. I suspect the verdict on the much-maligned SFO is still out, just as it is on Nadir's remaining nine charges.
