Investigative journalist John Solomon joined Benny Johnson this week to deliver a chilling update on the state of our Republic.
According to Solomon, the American people are about to learn the horrifying truth: Communist China has successfully penetrated state voter ID databases to conduct influence operations during U.S. elections.
According to Solomon, the investigation involves senior leadership from the CIA, FBI, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and could have massive implications for ongoing debates in Washington over election security legislation.
During the interview, Johnson asked Solomon about the situation unfolding in Maricopa County, Arizona, where investigators recently seized election-related materials through a grand jury subpoena.
Solomon clarified that the operation was not technically a “raid,” but part of a larger legal effort examining whether election officials properly followed state law while administering federal elections.
But the Maricopa investigation may only be the tip of the iceberg.
Solomon revealed that CIA Director John Ratcliffe, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are reportedly conducting an extraordinary intelligence review related to election systems.
According to Solomon, the review centers on a newly discovered body of documents that could raise serious concerns about foreign interference.
Solomon told Johnson that investigators are examining whether Chinese actors penetrated voter identification systems and used the data for influence operations targeting American elections.
Solomon believes the intelligence findings may dramatically influence the Senate debate over the SAVE America Act, a measure aimed at strengthening voter verification requirements.
Benny Johnson:
But your take on Maricopa County — you’re saying that what’s going to happen is we’re going to find out the Chinese had a major heavy hand in rigging the election? What’s your take on the raid yesterday in Maricopa?John Solomon:
Yeah, it wasn’t really a raid. It was a grand jury subpoena, but they grabbed the stuff. There will be some search warrants executed in the coming days based on my reporting.They’re looking at — in Maricopa County — a very technical thing, just like it was in Georgia: Did you follow state law? Because if you didn’t administer a federal election the way it was supposed to be administered under state law, you can be charged federally.
It’s just about doing the right thing and following the law. But above that — not in Maricopa County, not in Fulton County — there is an extraordinary review going on by the CIA director, the FBI director, and the Director of National Intelligence. So, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe, and Kash Patel.
They have found a body of documents that I think will trouble all of us and probably will have a profound effect on the Senate debate over the SAVE America Act.
A lot of senators are sitting up there saying, “I don’t know if I need to vote for this. I don’t know what the politics are.” Wait a second — when they find out that maybe voter identities in their state databases were penetrated by China and used in influence operations, that may change their mind. I think the debate in the Senate could be informed by what comes out in the next few weeks.
