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 fresh allegation of sex abuse has been made against the former North Wales police superintendent, Gordon Anglesea.

North Wales police confirmed last night that a file detailing evidence of the new allegation has been forwarded to the Crown Prosecution Service which will decide whether any charges should be brought.

Mr Anglesea, 59, won pounds 375,000 in libel damages in December 1994 after television and newspapers carried reports which branded him a paedophile.
