## Resource

In this episode of John Solomon Reports , host John Solomon reveals a major bombshell stemming from his work as chairman of the White House Government Transparency Task Force. Solomon discusses the declassification of documents that unveil a covert FBI operation named Round River, which was initiated after the conclusion of the Russia collusion investigation. This operation shifted focus from unfounded allegations against Donald Trump to credible corruption claims involving Joe Biden and his family, with 14 confidential human sources providing derogatory information about them. Solomon highlights how the FBI attempted to undermine the narrative surrounding Hunter Biden's lucrative dealings with a corrupt Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, labeling those who raised questions as conduits of Russian disinformation. This episode draws parallels between Round River and the infamous Crossfire Hurricane, illustrating how the FBI's actions aimed to protect certain political figures while smearing others. Joining Solomon is Senator Ron Johnson, who has been at the forefront of uncovering information regarding Anthony Fauci and has faced scrutiny from the Round River operation. Additionally, retired FBI Special Agent Jonathan Gilliam shares his insights on the concerning implications of Round River, while former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner discusses his campaign for governor as the Republican primary approaches.
