Thank you for the response.
Here’s why I’m not convinced by John Solomon:
There have been multiple instances of former co-workers and other journalists criticizing Solomon for being fast and loose with facts.
Something fishy?
“Then again, Solomon has a history of bending the truth to his storyline. As a reporter for the AP and The Washington Post, he dug up his share of genuine dirt, but he also was notorious for massaging facts to conjure phantom scandals. In 2006, for instance, Solomon and fellow AP writer Sharon Theimer tried to tie now-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to disgraced super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff. The piece hinged on a series of meetings Reid had with Abramoff’s staff to discuss a pending minimum-wage bill and gifts from Abramoff associates who opposed several casino-expansion projects. What it failed to mention is that Reid stuck to his longstanding position on both issues—meaning that any implications of influence peddling were bogus.”
These criticisms have arisen because Solomon frequently leaves out material facts to create scandal where there is none.

The Edwards story, by John Solomon and Lois Romano, was controversial even in the Post newsroom and was attacked by Edwards, his staff, liberal-leaning blogs and about 50 readers.
Reader Robert SanGeorge of Chevy Chase wrote: "I read it three times and could not figure out why it was a news story, let alone a front-pager. What's worse was that the placement, the headline and the tone of the story clearly implied that former senator Edwards had done something sleazy."
The story was interesting, but it was more of an item for the Reliable Source or In the Loop -- and not worth Page 1. It seemed like a "gotcha" without the gotcha.

On the other hand, there are a number of people with no US political affiliation who suggest Solomon is again leaving something out:
Ukrainian anti-corruption activist. What she says is corroborated by one of Shokin’s assistants.
Vitaly Kasko - Wikipedia

"There was no pressure from anyone from the U.S. to close cases against Zlochevsky," Kasko told Bloomberg. "It was shelved by Ukrainian prosecutors in 2014 and through 2015."
Clearly we should never trust a man who resigns out of principle.

So was this guy:
Maybe that’s how you spell “Hunter Biden” in Ukrainian? Wait, no, this is the economic development minister who was struggling to cultivate outside investment in Ukraine. Also corroborates Kaleniuk’s tweet above.
Did I read that right? 289 votes in favor of accepting his resignation? Damn, but there’s probably like 477 members of parliament m, right? No? Only 295? Only 6 Ukrainian MPs were able to resist Libtard democrats temptations and dirty dealings?
Hunter Biden 'did not violate anything,' former Ukrainian prosecutor says
Yuri Lutsenko, a former Ukrainian prosecutor general who succeeded the fired prosecutor, told Bloomberg News that there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe or Hunter Biden.
