Though Trump called it a "perfect call," Napolitano said it showed Trump was guilty of campaign finance violations, bribery and witness intimidation.
WASHINGTON – Fox News' senior judicial analyst, Andrew Napolitano, said Thursday that the summary released by the White House of a July 25 phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demonstrates"both criminal and impeachable behavior" by Trump.
Napolitano has bucked his conservative colleagues before, particularly with his view that special counsel Robert Mueller also revealed impeachable offenses. The call is at the center of an impeachment inquiry after a whistleblower complaint accused Trump of "using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election." Trump is alleged to have used approved military aid as leverage to demand that Ukraine investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, who has generally led in Democratic primary polling.
The judge decried Trump's verbal attacks on the whistleblower and"suggesting that the whistleblower and those who have helped him are spies and ought to be treated as spies were in 'the old days' – that is, by hanging." Napolitano expressed shock that Trump would try to engage a country to interfere in the 2020 election immediately after Mueller's investigation, which outlined a"sweeping and systematic" Russian campaign to sway the 2016 election.
