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.Anne Sinclair, the wife of the former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, has confirmed that the two have separated.
Ms Sinclair, a former television news anchor and possibly the most sorely-provoked wife of modern times, stood by her husband through months of public scrutiny after he was accused of trying to rape a hotel maid in New York. DSK, as he is known, is also being investigated in France for suspected links to a prostitution ring. He denies wrongdoing.
Le Parisien published an interview with Ms Sinclair yesterday in which she was asked how she had been doing since the split. Her response: "I'm working hard again ... I'm doing very well, thank you."
Mr Strauss-Kahn persuaded Ms Sinclair to marry him in 1991 after she interviewed him for her television show 7sur7, one of France's most popular and prominent news programmes.
When in January she was appointed editor of the Huffington Post's new French edition, she appeared at a press conference without her wedding ring – perhaps the first sign that she had decided enough was enough.
The disgraced former head of the International Monetary Fund was expelled from the couple's home in Paris's Place des Vosges in May.
