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.Rangers were fined £50,000 by the PLUS Stock Exchange yesterday, for failing to disclose Craig Whyte's previous disqualification as a director when the businessman completed his takeover in May last year.
Whyte was disqualified in 2000 for seven years but Rangers did not announce this until 30 November, six weeks after the Insolvency Service had confirmed the fact in a BBC documentary. The fine was issued after an investigation by the Stock Exchange, which suspended trading in the club's shares last month.
Regarding his disqualification, Whyte said: "That was disclosed as soon as I was made aware that it needed to be disclosed. It was always a matter of public record relating to events some 16 years ago. Really, this is an irrelevance with everything else that is going on."
