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.Three Cabinet ministers resigned today, days after their sons were taken into custody in a sweeping corruption scandal in one of the worst political crises of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s 10-year premiership.
The Economy Minister, Zafer Caglayan, and the Interior Minister, Muammer Guler, announced their resignations in statements, while the Environment and Urban Planning Minister, Erdogan Bayraktar, gave his resignation in a live interview, during which he also urged the Prime Minister to step down. All three of the ministers have denied any wrongdoing.
Mr Caglayan’s and Mr Guler’s sons, along with the chief executive officer of the state-run lender Halkbank, are among 24 people who have been arrested on bribery charges.
