Former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano, a longtime Fox News analyst, responded to President Donald Trump's Saturday tweet trashing him for his critical coverage of the Mueller report.
On Monday's Mornings With Maria, on the Fox Business Network, Napolitano detailed his side of Trump's claim that he only became"hostile" toward the president after Trump allegedly denied his request to be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Napolitano denied he asked to be appointed, but acknowledged a meeting occurred between the two when Trump was still the president-elect.
"Good morning. If this is the way you treat your friends how do you treat your enemies? Oh boy," a miffed Napolitano told Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo, who interviewed Trump over the weekend. Napolitano said he suggested the person who would ultimately fill that position, Judge Neil Gorsuch, but that Trump became suspicious and said,"sounds like you're describing yourself." In an odd power trip, Trump then demanded Napolitano offer him a"spiel" to sell himself for the position, which is what the president referenced in his Saturday tweet.
— Donald J. Trump April 28, 2019"Who would turn that down? I gave him the spiel, so-to-speak, and somebody else in the room said 'that's pretty interesting, but the judge is a little long in the tooth,'" Napolitano recalled."To which the president said 'blank you' to the person and said, 'I'm four years older than the judge, and I'm about to become president.
