      In 2017, The Hill hired John Solomon as executive vice president of digital video. Solomon inserted material from advertisers into journalistic copy, leading to protests from The Hill’s publisher. In March 2018, he worked closely with associates of Rudy Giuliani, the personal lawyer of U.S. President Donald Trump, to promote the spurious Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory. In May 2018, Solomon’s role was changed to opinion contributor, although he was allowed to keep his original title. In September 2019, he left The Hill.

      It’s all over the place here.

        The Hill was the second most-shared source among supporters of Donald Trump on Twitter during the election, behind Breitbart News.

        Hahaha, oh dear. I see.
