Sources: The Hill’s John Solomon offered money to Bill Clinton for an interview series
WAPO ^ | 1/19/2018 | erik wemple

John Solomon, the executive vice president of digital video at The Hill, approached the office of former president Bill Clinton in August with a proposal to conduct paid interviews as part of a new video series for the publication, according to three informed sources. Clinton’s office declined to participate.

Securing the former president’s cooperation appears to have been among Solomon’s first ideas when he arrived at The Hill in July. Prior to that position, he’d worked as the chief operating officer at Circa, the general news website of the right-leaning Sinclair Broadcast Group. At other stops along his peripatetic career path, Solomon has sought to play a dual role of investigative reporter-cum-digital evangelist, not always with glimmering results.

I think we know where he is regarding Fox and Hannity’s radio show.
Sidelined. On the bench.

don’t know. I started on Q and never got past K. I actually am confused by all the pro and anti-Q comments.

Why would anyone interview a known liar? Even more ridiculous, why would anyone PAY the known liar for an interview?

I've heard of Sinclair Broadcast Group, but I did not know it “leaned” Right.

I spent 10 minutes researching Sinclair on Google.

As far as I can see, the only people who think Sinclair leans Right are reporters and executives from MSM companies that relentlessly lean Left!

When the Clinton’s take a bribe it is a number followed by the word million. Numbers below 10 do not get to play.

This is simply a political hit on John Solomon. John does not have this kinda money.

The establishment is trying to destroy Solomon for his articles on the FBI/DOJ corruption.
