John Solomon, a reporter who gained President Trump’s favor through his work questioning the federal investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russians who meddled in the 2016 election, is in discussions to join the White House as a special government employee, he confirmed in a statement.
“I am currently being vetted for a short-term S.G.E. job, and it’s an honor to be considered,” Mr. Solomon said on Thursday evening. Special government employee status historically has been given to part-time, outside advisers to the federal government who offer advice based on private-sector expertise; the Trump administration has made broad and frequent use of the designation, including for people like Elon Musk.
Mr. Solomon declined to answer further questions about the job.
