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.PRESIDENT Bill Clinton arrived in Tel Aviv last night at the start of his landmark trip to the Middle East, where the Arab-Israeli peace process is in deep crisis. And with the House judiciary committee yesterday adding another article of impeachment - misuse and abuse of office - Mr Clinton's domestic fate now lies with the full House of Representatives. An eleventh-hour apology by the President (pictured hugging his daughter, Chelsea, in Washington yesterday), and a plea to be allowed to continue his work for the American people, failed to sway the committee. The prospect of a trial seemed to unsettle the markets, stirring fresh speculation about Mr Clinton's political survival.
