[The Glenn Beck Program, around October 14, 2026]
Glenn Beck: What’s going to come out of this, John? What is your feeling on this one?
John Solomon: So, I’ve been on the same roller coaster you have, Glenn. You know, you do lots of this great reporting. You try to help people. I’ve been in the White House declassifying documents, and you see this extraordinary body of evidence—and then you see the people implicated in that body of evidence walking free, thumbing their nose, going on television, making money, writing false letters that mislead Americans in elections—and you’re like, “Is it worth even doing?” The answer, of course, is yes. It is.
I have detected, since the beginning of the White House Task Force, a new sentiment in the Justice Department, in the prosecutorial world. And I’ll just use some examples.
Our original releases at the Task Force were the basis for the President’s July speech about China’s interventions in our elections, including the theft of voter records, the fact that there were a lot of non-citizens on voter rolls and some appeared to have voted, and then the election vulnerabilities.
Now, I can tell you from the work I’ve done that this has long been known in the government, but it had never gotten to the President’s attention. In fact, there was an intentional effort by the intelligence community to keep two presidencies—and probably two Congresses—in the dark on this.
The antiseptic of light kicked in a whole new sort of activity at the Justice Department. And I suspect it wasn’t that the Justice Department wasn’t looking at it; it was probably the career people saying, “There’s nothing going on there, nothing there, it’s rare, doesn’t happen…”
All of a sudden, you’ve seen north of 100 non-citizens charged with voting. You’ve got a major criminal investigation in New Jersey about what may be systemic non-citizens getting on the rolls. You’ve seen some new actions taken to protect our voting machines. The intelligence that we made public was six years old, but nobody ever acted on it until Donald Trump gave his speech.
You heard the other day that John Brennan, in a court filing, said he was told by prosecutors he’s a target. You only give someone a target notification if they’re about to be indicted.
I see an awful lot of activity in the grand jury—talking to defense lawyers, looking at activity and behavior by James Comey and his inner circle. I did not see that activity for much of the first 13 or 14 months of the Trump presidency, except in the FBI. The FBI was always churning, but it seems to me that the Justice Department is in a different gear, and that gear has been kicked in for different reasons. HSI takes on Ilhan Omar separate from the DOJ; they drive that case. The President, in his speech, puts new evidence out there.
I’ve seen more accountability activity before grand juries and in courts in the last eight weeks than I saw, quite frankly, in the first six years of the two Trump presidencies. So something is going on—but it only matters if you get results. And the result will be someone being charged if there is criminality, or being sued, or being charged with fraud, or having their job taken away.
I think we’re in a window now where we’re finally going to know the answer. I don’t know which one it will be, but there’s enough activity that the Justice Department is probably going to give us some clarity.
And certainly on election integrity, you’re seeing things you’ve never seen before in the history of the Justice Department. Not Trump—I mean, there have never been this many non-citizens prosecuted by the Justice Department in one year.
You’ve never seen a case like the one they’re bringing in California, where the pay-to-play with the homeless people has blossomed into a very big scandal. And last night, while you and I were probably getting ready for bed, Glenn, the Justice Department did something really significant—something they could have done a year or two ago, but they didn’t.
They told California: “We see this many people that we think are non-citizens on the ’26 voter rolls. You better get them off before Election Day, because if you allow them to cast a ballot, we’re coming to charge you with knowingly and willfully letting an illegal alien or a non-citizen foreigner vote.” And that’s never been done before. That’s a shockwave. That’s activity we haven’t seen in the past.
