John Solomon, a conspiracy theorist appointed to President Trump's election task force, admitted in an interview that the U.S. intelligence community has found zero evidence that foreign powers flipped votes in the 2020, 2022, or 2024 elections. He also acknowledged no intelligence showing Venezuela tampered with U.S. voting machines. This contradicts Trump's prime-time speech, where he accused China of illicitly acquiring 220 million voter files and alleged a plot by Venezuela's Maduro regime to manipulate elections. Trump used the speech to push for the restrictive SAVE America Act. Separately, Trump declassified documents confirming Russia interfered in the 2020 election in his favor by promoting claims about Hunter Biden and mail-in voting conspiracies. The article highlights the disconnect between Trump's claims and his own administration's intelligence findings.

Trump’s Own Election Fraud Task Force Member Admits No Evidence of Tampering
Not even President Trump’s own appointee to his election task force could substantiate claims that votes in the last three general and midterm elections were tampered with.
During an interview on MS NOW following Trump’s Thursday night speech, host Vaughn Hill pressed John Solomon—a conspiracy theorist on election interference who now serves on the White House’s election task force—on the president’s claims.
- Hill: “Can you acknowledge that there were no votes changed in 2020?”
- Solomon: “All I can acknowledge is what the intelligence shows. I only know—the intelligence community has zero evidence that … a foreign power flipped the vote in 2020, ’22, or ’24.”
- Hill: “And you’re able to acknowledge that Venezuela has not tampered with voting machines in the United States?”
- Solomon: “No, the intelligence is very clear: They did it on their own machines.”
Solomon then ended the interview abruptly.
Trump’s Speech and Declassified Documents
In his prime-time address, Trump accused China of the “illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files” and alleged a “specific plot to do a big number in favor of the corrupt Maduro regime in Venezuela.” He argued that no vote would be safe unless his restrictive SAVE America Act was passed.
However, alongside his speech, Trump declassified documents that confirmed Russia interfered in his favor by pushing claims about Hunter Biden and spreading conspiracies about the reliability of mail-in voting.

Truth Social Launches “Truth API,” Raising Insider Trading Concerns
The thin veil historically clouding government corruption has been discarded, as the current Trump administration embraces blatant ethical misconduct.
Truth Social executives announced Thursday that the company will sell Wall Street firms premier access to Donald Trump’s market-rattling online posts. The product, marketed as “Truth API,” grants traders an advantage over the general public in anticipating stock market fluctuations driven by the president’s social media activity.
Key Details of Truth API
- Purpose: To monetize Trump’s posts by providing continuous 24/7 coverage and access to an archive of his posts dating back to 2022.
- Legal Concerns: Critics argue the product aims to sanitize insider trading, an illegal activity actively investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
- Ownership: Truth Social is owned by Trump Media & Technology Group. Its board of directors includes Boris Epshteyn, one of the president’s personal attorneys, and Donald Trump Jr., according to the company’s website.
“Markets already move on Truth Social posts,” said Kevin McGurn, interim executive chief officer of Trump Media, in a statement. “As adoption grows, we expect Truth API to become a meaningful, ongoing source of revenue for the company, creating lasting value for shareholders.”
A Pattern of Monetizing Power
This is not the first time the Trump family has attempted to use political power for financial gain. Since reassuming office, Trump has profited through stock trading, cryptocurrency, and lawsuits against news media organizations. His previous election-year hustles include:
- Launching a notably ugly sneaker.
- Selling a limited-edition, $60 God Bless the USA Bible, co-promoted by singer Lee Greenwood. The Bible was later forced on Oklahoma public schools by the state’s MAGA superintendent at taxpayer expense.
Trump’s sons have also joined in. In April, Eric Trump openly bragged about winning a multimillion-dollar defense contract from his father’s administration. Donald Trump Jr. and his brother have also invested in multiple defense-related ventures.
