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 solicitor was suspended from a law firm named in a High Court action by the Salvation Army. The Army is trying to recover more than 6m of its funds which have disappeared.

Robert Adey was sent home by the Birmingham solicitors Edge & Ellison. The company said neither the firm nor Mr Adey were involved in any impropriety and they were co-operating fully.

Edge & Ellison acted for Stuart Ford, a businessman alleged to have conspired to defraud the Army of pounds 6.3m. The spokesman said they were closely examining the handling of dealings with Mr Ford.
