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.

Monica Lewinsky, left, the woman at the heart of the latest allegations regarding President Bill Clinton's sex life, leaves Washington's Cosmos Club. Linda Tripp, who secretly recorded her conversations with the White House trainee about the nature of Ms Lewinsky's relationship with Mr Clinton, yesterday said she was with Ms Lewinsky when the President called her, and on others when her relationship with Mr Clinton was the subject of "volatile and contentious" telephone conversations with White House aides.

Ms Lewinsky seems to have reached a dead end in her attempt to gain immunity from prosecution if she changes testimony denying that she had any sexual relationship with the President.
