Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Kim Dotcom, the founder of a file-sharing website Megaupload, was denied bail by a judge in New Zealand yesterday pending an extradition hearing to face charges of copyright infringement in the US.
Police in the Netherlands have arrested a fifth suspect in connection with the case, after another three were arrested last week in New Zealand.
The court in Auckland heard Mr Dotcom, 38, may try to flee before his extradition hearing on 22 February. He is accused of facilitating illegal downloads costing copyright holders at least $500m.
