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.

Maxwell `had hopes of secret rescue'

The identity of a would-be rescuer of the Maxwell group had to be kept secret because of sensitivity about an Arab-Israeli peace conference, the Maxwell trial jury heard yesterday. Kevin Maxwell described his hopes that a group of Abu Dhabi investors including the ruler would inject pounds 400m into the crisis-hit group. Kevin, his brother Ian and former financial adviser Larry Trachtenberg deny conspiracy to defraud by misusing shares. Kevin denies a separate charge of conspiring with his father to defraud.
