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.

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.

Watch the view from outside a Manhattan courthouse as New York braces for the possibility of an indictment of Donald Trump.

City officials have been preparing for the possibility of protests after the former president encouraged his supporters to demonstrate if he is arrested.

Posting on his social media platform, Truth Social, he called on his supporters to protest any arrest and to “take our nation back.”

If indicted, he would be the first-ever former US president to ever be criminally charged in the history of the United States.

The investigation is into Donald Trump’s so-called hush money payment to adult film Stormy Daniels star during his 2016 presidential campaign.

The Manhattan grand jury is expected to reconvene today – meaning the former president could be criminally indicted at the earliest by the close of the day.
