John Solomon (political commentator)
American Political Dissent for MAGA
John F. Solomon is an American investigative journalist, author, and political commentator. He is the founder, editor-in-chief, and CEO of Just the News, a digital news organization launched in 2020. Over a career spanning more than three decades, he has held reporting and editorial positions at Associated Press, The Washington Times, The Hill, and was a contributor at Fox News until late 2020.
Solomon has received several awards, including the 2008 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for his investigative journalism. However, he has also been accused of exaggerating minor scandals, creating false controversy, and promoting conspiracy theories. During the first Trump presidency, Solomon was accused of advancing Trump-friendly stories including ones that questioned reports about women who accused Trump of sexual harassment and who had also sought payments from partisan political donors. He also questioned the legitimacy of the criminal charges against Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort.
Solomon has been described by some as playing an important role in promoting conspiracy theories about unproven allegations of wrongdoing in Ukraine by Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. Solomon's reporting on the Bidens influenced Trump's unsuccessful efforts to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into publicly launching an investigation into the elder Biden—an effort that ultimately led to Trump's first impeachment.
Early years and education
Solomon graduated from Marquette University with a bachelor's degree in journalism and sociology.

Why this record matters

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23762381. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020 and 2008.

The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
