House Intelligence committee ranking minority member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) opened Tuesday’s impeachment hearings with a fiery defense of John Solomon — a reporter whose controversial work is oft cited by Republicans as it relates to the Ukraine scandal.

During his Tuesday opener, Nunes railed against the media for discrediting the reporting of Solomon — formerly a columnist for The Hill and currently a Fox News contributor.

“Solomon’s reporting on Burisma, Hunter Biden, and Ukraine election meddling has become inconvenient for the Democratic narrative,” Nunes said. “And so the media is furiously smearing and libeling Solomon.

In a memo Monday, The Hill‘s editor in chief, Bob Cusack, told staff that the outlet is currently reviewing Solomon’s work on Ukraine. Solomon’s work relating to former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch has come under particular scrutiny, given that he has been accused in earlier impeachment hearings of helping facilitate a smear campaign against Yovanovitch.
