Solomon joined the Washington Post in 2007 as an investigative reporter on its national staff. His byline appeared on nearly 100 articles, including reporting on: a secret list of clients from Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani's security firm; Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards' ties to a hedge fund; and a discredited FBI bullet-matching technique that has been used for decades to convict murder suspects. The latter article revealed that the National Academy of Sciences had determined that decades of FBI statements to jurors linking a particular bullet to those found in a suspect's gun or cartridge box were so overstated that such testimony should be considered "misleading under federal rules of evidence." Hundreds of convictions are in question now that FBI forensic evidence has been discredited.
