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.Police in Los Angeles have publicly apologised for loaning the bloodstained shirt, tie and jacket that Robert F Kennedy was wearing when he was shot to organisers of a macabre exhibition at a casino in Las Vegas.
The clothes and other artefacts from the room at the Ambassador Hotel, where Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968, were put on display at a conference for homicide investigators at the Palms Casino. Also exhibited at the event, which was open to the public, was memorabilia from investigations into Marilyn Monroe's overdose, the O J Simpson case, and the Manson family killings, along with several other notoriously grisly murder cases over 100 years.
Most of the items had never been seen in public outside a courtroom, News of the exhibition reopened old wounds for the Kennedy family, who formally complained the moment they heard about it. Kennedy's clothes were removed from display yesterday.
