ABC News announced that a two-hour special about alleged child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein will air Jan. 9 after facing allegations that it killed a 2015 story about the dead financier.

“Truth and Lies: Jeffrey Epstein” will air in January 2020 along with an eight-part podcast. The special will focus on Epstein “and the powerful story of the women who survived his crimes and fought back to reclaim their lives,” according to the announcement.

“The accusers open up with emotional accounts of the abuse they endured, their resilience, strength and life now,” ABC’s description reads according to The Wrap. “The ABC News special features material from a 2003 interview in which Epstein discusses his life; deposition tapes of Epstein and his alleged co-conspirators; police interviews with the young girls; and their personal reactions today to seeing Epstein appear in court last summer.”

The podcast will be hosted by ABC’s Mark Remillard, Deadline reported.

“Truth and Lies” will reportedly not include the spiked 2015 interview from Amy Robach, which caused controversy when Project Veritas released the leaked video in November. (NBC, ABC And CBS Appear To Have Run Cover For World’s Most Powerful Rape Rings)

Robach said in the video that she “had it all” regarding the interview with Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre. She suggested ABC didn’t air the interview because of threats from Buckingham Palace, as Prince Andrew has been embroiled in allegations surrounding underage women and Epstein.

Robach later walked back her comments following the video’s release. She said in a statement that she was caught “in a private moment of frustration.”

ABC previously said that it has “never stopped investigating the story” and had a team dedicated to uncovering the truth about Epstein, who died of an apparent suicide in jail Aug. 10. (RELATED: Jeffrey Epstein Arrested And Charged With Sex Trafficking)

ABC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the decision to not air Robach’s 2015 interview in the two-hour special.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
