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.George Bush has been called to testify in the trial of a banker accused of making dollars 5.5bn ( pounds 3.7bn) of unauthorised loans to Iraq through an Italian bank, AP reports from Washington.
Mr Bush has been asked to submit documents and to appear in the trial of Christopher Drogoul, the former director of the Atlanta branch of the Italian government's Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, said Robert Simels, the defence lawyer. The defence hopes to prove that Mr Drogoul was a tool in a far larger US, Italian, British and German government scheme to help Iraq defeat Iran during their war.
