The Australian Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has defended its decision to keep an investigative series on Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia online, despite later findings debunking claims.

In 2018, ABC’s Four Corners program aired a three-part series, which the broadcaster called “The Story of the Century,” on Trump and his connections with Russia during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
