As Josh just noted, John Solomon will be moving to The Washington Post, according to an internal AP memo leaked to TPM. The memo, which comes to us from a reliable source, reads:
John Solomon is departing at year’s end for the Washington Post, where he will run an investigative unit. John has been a reporter, a news editor and investigative editor here over the last 15 years. His own reporting and his work with other Washington reporters has won awards and praise for the AP. We wish him well in his new challenge.
Our calls to the Post, the Associated Press, and John Solomon were not immediately returned.
For those who need reminding as to Solomon’s curious predilection for chasing Democrats, here’s an earlier TPM post explaining. And another.
Update: AP spokesman John Stokes confirms. “John Solomon is departing at year’s end for the Washington Post,” he wrote to us in an email that reproduces verbatim the memo we posted above.
