John Solomon is an American conservative investigative journalist and editor renowned for his reporting on political scandals and government affairs. He is the founder and serves as the executive vice president and editor-in-chief of Just the News, a digital media outlet he co-founded in 2019, which focuses on non-partisan but often conservative-leaning coverage of politics and policy. Solomon's career spans over three decades in journalism, beginning with the Associated Press in 1988, followed by roles at The Washington Post, The Washington Times, and as an opinion editor at The Hill from 2017 to 2019. He has been a frequent contributor to Fox News, where he promoted stories on topics like the Ukraine investigations involving the Biden family and alleged FBI misconduct in the Russia probe, which drew significant attention during the Trump administration. Solomon has faced criticism for his reporting style, accused by media watchdogs and fact-checkers of amplifying unverified claims and conspiracy theories, particularly those benefiting conservative narratives. Notable controversies include his 2019 articles at The Hill alleging corruption in Ukraine linked to Hunter Biden, which were later challenged for inaccuracies and reliance on discredited sources. Despite this, he maintains influence in conservative media circles, collaborating professionally with figures like Christopher Ruddy of Newsmax. His work has positioned him as a key player in networks of influence within right-wing journalism, often intersecting with political operatives and donors aligned with Republican causes.
