Multiple reliable sources, including AP and FactCheck.org, confirm Solomon said the intelligence community has "zero evidence" that a foreign power flipped a vote in 2020, '22, or '24, which matches the claim. Solomon also said he was "still researching" and "not through all the documents," but that qualifier does not change the statement itself.

The host relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

What was said

… I've just received information that the Iranians or the Russians or the Chinese or the Venezuelans have taken control of the voting machines in Michigan, which, again, is not a thing, but it's one of the one of the eventualities that we're preparing for. John Solomon was caught on the North Lawn of the White House after Trump's address to the nation by my colleague Vaughn Hilliard, in which he said that there's no evidence that a foreign power flipped votes in 2024 or 2022 or 2020.

What we found

Supports. AP reports Solomon told MS NOW that the intelligence community has "zero evidence that someone has flipped — that a foreign power flipped — a vote in 2020, 22 or 24."[1]

Supports. FactCheck.org quotes an adviser to the president saying, "The Intelligence Community has zero evidence that someone, that a foreign power flipped a vote in 2020, '22 or '24," and identifies the adviser as Solomon in the same coverage.[2]

Supports. Mediaite and Cleveland.com transcribe the same exchange with MS NOW's Vaughn Hillyard, with Solomon affirming zero evidence for 2020, 2022 and 2024.[3][4]

Context. Solomon qualified the statement by saying he was "still researching" and that "we're not through all the documents," and CNN later reported he said he was still investigating whether any votes were flipped.[1][4][5]

Context. The claim's years match the post's years (2024, 2022, 2020) in a different order, and the post's own passage names Solomon and the same statement, so the extraction does not add to the post.
