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.

Kieren Fallon was yesterday accused of "lying" after Top Cees finished fifth at Newmarket three years ago. Fallon, Lynda and Jack Ramsden are suing The Sporting Life for libel over an article in May 1995 which accused them of "cheating" their way to victory in the Chester Cup on Top Cees.

The newspaper's barrister accused Fallon of "deliberately lying" to the stewards' inquiry held after the Swaffham Handicap over the jockey's claim that he had never previously ridden the horse. The jockey vehemently denied the accusation. The hearing continues today.
