Fox News has announced that host Sean Hannity will present an exclusive sit-down interview with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The two are set to discuss the incoming Trump administration, Russian hacking, Barack Obama's presidency and the 2016 presidential election overall. It will air Tuesday on Fox News Channel.

Hannity will travel to London to speak with Assange, who is currently in the Ecuadorian embassy under political asylum. The founder of WikiLeaks sought refuge in the embassy from a Swedish investigation that lead to rape allegations from when he visited the country in 2010.

This will be the first time Assange will appear in a face-to-face interview on cable news, although the founder of WikiLeaks had spoken to Hannity in public before. In December, Assange called into Hannity's radio show. The Fox host praised Assange, saying "you've done us a favor," referring to exposing mishaps in US cybersecurity.

Over the years, Hannity has changed his opinion on Assange and WikiLeaks. A former critic, Hannity once told Assange, "Part of me, in the beginning, was conflicted about you," Variety reported. The Fox News reported has since interviewed Assange several times over phone and radio.

WikiLeaks made the headlines ahead of Election Day, upon publishing emails from John Podesta on its website, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman. Emails from Democratic party officials were also made public by WikiLeaks before the Democratic National Convention in July.

Recently, Assange and WikiLeaks have been linked to the Russian hacking. Assange denied the allegations that he received the hacked emails from Russia and released a statement saying that WikiLeaks wan not trying to rig the result of the election, albeit being critical of Clinton.

Sean Hannity's one-on-one interview with Julian Assange will air on January 3 at 10 pm on Fox News Channel. Additional portions of the interview will be aired throughout the week.
