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 grand jury yesterday indicted the figure skater Tonya Harding's former bodyguard and two others for the attack on her rival Nancy Kerrigan, which it said Harding and her ex-husband helped plan, Reuter reports from Portland.

Harding's former bodyguard Shawn Eckardt, and his associates Shane Stant and Derrick Smith were indicted on charges including racketeering, assault and conspiracy to commit assault. Harding and her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly cannot be indicted because they pleaded guilty to lesser charges in plea bargains.
