BREAKING: FOX News SUSPENDS Judge Napolitano Over THIS – Do YOU Agree?

Judge Andrew Napolitano, the former New Jersey Superior Court judge, has been sidelined on Fox News. Did the Fox News brass make the right call?

Judge Napolitano had made the claim that President Obama had retrieved NSA data gathered on Donald Trump via a British Intelligence agency. He said that three ‘unnamed sources’ told this to Fox News.

ClashDaily reported on that here.

Both the President and the White House repeated the claims.

Napolitano stands by his statements and says that he believes the sources.

Fox News anchors, however, have walked back the claim saying that Fox News knows of no evidence of the Obama Administration conducting surveillance on then-candidate Donald Trump.

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano is being kept off the air indefinitely amid the controversy over his unverified claims that British intelligence wiretapped Trump Tower at the behest of former President Obama.

Fox News did not respond to inquiries about Napolitano’s status Monday. Napolitano was conspicuously missing from the network’s coverage of the confirmation hearings on Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch — an event in which he typically would have played a significant role. He has not been on the air since Thursday.

People familiar with the situation who could speak only on the condition of anonymity said Napolitano is not expected to be on Fox News Channel any time in the near future. Napolitano was not available for comment…

…The former New Jersey Superior Court judge, citing unnamed sources, said that the British foreign surveillance agency, the Government Communications Headquarters, “most likely” provided Obama with transcripts of Trump’s recorded calls.

“By bypassing all American intelligence services, Obama would have had access to what he wanted with no Obama administration fingerprints,” Napolitano wrote in a column on FoxNews.com.

…Napolitano said on one program that “Fox News has spoken to intelligence community members who believe that surveillance did occur, that it was done by British intelligence.”

Fox News, however, did no such thing, forcing its anchors to walk back Napolitano’s statement.

“Fox News knows of no evidence of any kind that the now-president of the United States was surveilled at any time, in any way,” Shepard Smith told viewers Friday.

In a statement read on the Fox News program “MediaBuzz” on Sunday, Napolitano defended his comments. He said he “reported what the sources told me, reported it accurately and I do believe the substance of what they told me.”
