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.A senior police officer resigned yesterday over an alleged relationship with a married civilian employee in his force.
Stephen Males, 48, the Assistant Chief Constable of Wiltshire, handed his resignation to Chief Constable Walter Girven at the force's Devizes headquarters on return from secondment in Nepal.
In his absence, Mr Girven had ordered an investigation into national newspaper allegations concerning Mr Males, a married man with two children, and a statistics officer, Pamela Brooks, who is also married. Mr Males had once been tipped as a future chief constable.
