Napolitano previously pushed the false claim that British intelligence spied on President Donald Trump on behalf of Obama.

Reports that President Donald Trump shared highly classified information with Russian officials, potentially violating espionage norms, raise the question of whether anyone on Fox News will criticize the president.
