Solomon did tell MS NOW's Vaughn Hillyard that the intelligence community has "zero evidence" that a foreign power flipped a vote in 2020, '22 or '24, so that part is supported.

A detail. The sources confirm the gist; the verdict faults a detail such as a date, number or wording.

What we found

Contradicts. Solomon's words were narrower than an unqualified "no votes were flipped": he limited the claim to foreign-power interference, said "I'm still researching," and added "We're not through all the documents."[1][2][3]

Supports. Multiple outlets quote Solomon saying the intelligence community has "zero evidence" that a foreign power flipped a vote in 2020, 2022 or 2024, in response to Hillyard's question about whether votes were changed.[1][2][3][4]

Context. Some outlets (New Republic, Yahoo/Will Sommer) summarize this as Solomon acknowledging no votes were changed, which is a looser paraphrase than his quoted words; the Mediaite transcript shows Hillyard's question was the source of the "no votes changed" phrasing.[2][4][5]

Context. CNN reports Solomon acknowledged after Trump's July speech that there was no evidence any votes were altered, while also saying he is still investigating whether any votes were flipped.[6]
