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.Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has admitted he was involved in a verbal exchange with a journalist at the weekend, but denied any "physical contact" took place.
Mourinho was accused by the Italian Sport Union of Journalists (USSI) of "physical and verbal aggression" towards Corriere dello Sport reporter Andrea Ramazzotti after Sunday's 1-1 draw at Atalanta.
"I don't like to have journalists near the team bus after a game," said Mourinho.
"I said it many times before to those who are in charge of communication and safety at the club.
"Not knowing that this journalist had been authorised by one of my colleagues and seeing him in an area where only the Inter Channel is allowed to work, I came out of the bus and I insulted him twice.
"But I did not try to hit him, there was no physical contact."
Mourinho did not attend Sunday's post-match press conference as he was serving a one-game touchline ban.
Inter president Massimo Moratti confirmed earlier this week he would investigate the incident.
