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.

A REPORT entitled 'Police criticised over triad 'perks' ' and published in the issue of the Independent on 6 November 1992 suggested that Detective Inspector David Cater (who led the investigation) and Detective Inspector Andrew Rennison had had an improper relationship with Britain's first triad 'supergrass', George Cheung; that in particular, they had offered him 'perks' in return for giving evidence; and that they had been criticised for their conduct by the Judge.
We now acknowledge that all these suggestions were wholly untrue, and we withdraw them unreservedly.
We apologise to Detective Inspector Cater and to Detective Inspector Rennison for the distress and embarrassment caused to them by our article.
