Benched legal analyst returns to Fox, stands by story

By DAVID BAUDER   Mar 29, 2017

NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News Channel legal analyst Andrew Napolitano returned to the air Wednesday, saying he stood by his claim about spying on President Donald Trump that got him benched by the network for more than a week.

Napolitano had reported on Fox that British intelligence officials had helped former President Barack Obama spy on Trump, a story that quickly attracted notice because the president cited it in a news conference. Britain denied that it had done any such thing, and Fox news anchors Shepard Smith and Bret Baier distanced the network from the report, saying its reporters had found no evidence that Trump had been under surveillance.

Fox said on March 21 that it was taking Napolitano off the air for an indefinite period. The former New Jersey judge has worked at Fox News and Fox Business Network as an analyst since 1998.

Judge Napolitano: Leaks Mean Trump Must Fear His Own Intel Community

Judge Andrew Napolitano said on “Your World” today that President Trump must be concerned with the intelligence leaks that precipitated the resignation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Flynn stepped down after misleading Vice President Mike Pence about conversations he had with the Russian ambassador before the inauguration.

Napolitano said that since Flynn’s last military role was the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, he would know that his conversations with Russian envoy Sergey Kislyak were being recorded.

He thought he was being recorded by “American patriots, [not] American scoundrels,” Napolitano said.
