福克斯新闻法律分析师安德鲁·纳波利塔诺法官在1997年星期三发表的一篇文章中说，唐纳德·特朗普总统滥用总统权力的证据是“无可争议的”华盛顿时报。
众议院预计将于周三晚上通过针对特朗普的弹劾程序。
纳波利塔诺写道:“重罪和轻罪是弹劾的基础，是颠覆我们民主制度的总统行为的宪法补救措施。”。“就特朗普而言，我们有无可争议的证据表明，他滥用权力，邀请外国政府干预2020年总统选举，然后指示下属不要提供国会命令的证据证明他的行为，这加剧了这一点。”
纳波利塔诺引用了司法部(DOJ)在调查理查德·尼克松总统和比尔·克林顿总统期间撰写的三份关于总统起诉法的报告。其中两份报告得出的结论是，“在任期间不得对任何总统提出指控或起诉。”
第三份报告总结说，如果有足够的犯罪活动证据，那么总统应该被弹劾，但起诉推迟到总统离任后进行。
纳波利塔诺写道:“所有三份DOJ报告都同意，如果总统的行为尽管没有受到指控，但仍构成‘重罪和轻罪’，他应该受到弹劾。”。
纳波利塔诺称，特朗普在乌克兰宣布对前副总统乔·拜登进行刑事调查之前，一直拒绝向乌克兰提供军事援助，这是一种“安定”
纳波利塔诺写道:“用街道的语言来说，这是一次大调整。”。“它寻求增强特朗普的个人政治需求，与美国外交政策无关。”
纳波利塔诺进一步表示，特朗普拒绝配合导致弹劾程序的初步调查，这使得对他的指控“基本上没有争议”
纳波利塔诺写道:“因为特朗普拒绝参与众议院调查，该调查导致了对他的弹劾条款的构建——除了他的推文和恐吓以及共和党人对众议院民主党委员会主席的人身攻击——对特朗普指控背后的事实基本上是无可争议的。”。
纳波利塔诺补充道:“每个相信法治的人都应该害怕一个认为法治不适用于自己的总统。”。"正如DOJ一再声明的那样，弹劾是解决这一问题的适当宪法补救办法."
福克斯新闻频道法律分析师安德鲁·纳波利塔诺法官周三表示，民主党在弹劾听证会上提出的一些证据是“无可争议的”
鉴于福克斯新闻网倾向于支持特朗普的报道，纳波利塔诺弹劾总统的积极立场受到了共和党人的批评，包括特朗普的私人律师鲁迪·朱利安尼(Rudy Giuliani)。
如同新闻周刊此前有报道称，朱利安尼5月在推特上表示，纳波利塔诺在被剥夺最高法院席位后，对特朗普不再抱有幻想。
朱利安尼在推特上写道:“纳波利塔诺和他现在痛苦的态度有点不对劲。“也许他从来不明白为什么波塔斯没有任命他为最高法院法官。他太聪明了，不会把通信和阴谋混为一谈。”
特朗普本人在4月份在推特上抨击了纳波利塔诺。
“自从安德鲁来到我的办公室要求我任命他为美国最高法院法官，我说不，他一直很敌视我！”特朗普发推特。"还请求原谅他的朋友."
DURING TRUMP IMPEACHMENT HEARING, FOX NEWS JUDGE SAYS 'UNDISPUTED EVIDENCE' TRUMP 'ABUSED HIS POWER'
Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano said evidence that President Donald Trump abused his presidential powers was "undisputed" in an article published Wednesday in The Washington Times.
Impeachment proceedings against Trump are expected to be passed by the House of Representatives Wednesday night.
"High crimes and misdemeanors is a basis for impeachment, the constitutional remedy for presidential behavior that subverts our democratic institutions," Napolitano wrote. "In Mr. Trump's case, we have undisputed evidence that he abused his power by inviting a foreign government to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and then compounded this by directing subordinates to refrain from giving congressionally commanded evidence of his behavior."
Napolitano cited three reports from the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the law of presidential prosecutions written during the investigations into presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. Two of the reports came to the conclusion that "no president could be charged or prosecuted while in office."
If there is enough evidence of criminal activity, then the president should be impeached but the prosecution put off until the president leaves office, the third report concluded.
"All three DOJ reports agreed that if the president's behavior, though uncharged, nevertheless amounted to 'high crimes and misdemeanors,' he should be impeached," Napolitano wrote.
Trump's withholding of military aid to Ukraine until the quid pro quo of Ukraine's announcement of a criminal investigation into former vice president Joe Biden was, according to Napolitano, a "shakedown."
"In the language of the streets, this is a shakedown," wrote Napolitano. "It sought to enhance Mr. Trump's personal political needs and bears no relationship to American foreign policy."
Napolitano further said that Trump's refusal to cooperate with the initial investigation that led to the impeachment proceedings have left charges against him "essentially uncontested."
"Because Mr. Trump declined to participate in the House investigation that resulted in the construction of the articles of impeachment against him—except for his tweets and bluster and the Republicans' personal attacks on House Democratic committee chairs—the facts underlying the charges against Mr. Trump are essentially uncontested," Napolitano wrote.
"Everyone who believes in the rule of law should be terrified of a president who thinks and behaves as if it does not apply to him," Napolitano added. "As the DOJ has stated repeatedly, impeachment is the proper constitutional remedy for that."
Fox News Channel legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano said Wednesday that some evidence presented by Democrats in the impeachment hearing is "undisputed."
Given the Fox News Network's propensity for pro-Trump reporting, Napolitano's positive stance on impeaching the president has received criticism from Republicans including Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
As Newsweek previously reported, Giuliani tweeted in May that Napolitano had become disenchanted with Trump after being denied a seat on the Supreme Court.
"There's something wrong with Napolitano and his now bitter attitude @realDonaldTrump," Giuliani tweeted. "Maybe he never understood why POTUS didn't appoint him to Supreme Court. He's too smart to confuse communications with conspiracy."
Trump himself took a Twitter swipe at Napolitano in April.
"Ever since Andrew came to my office to ask that I appoint him to the U.S. Supreme Court, and I said NO, he has been very hostile!" Trump tweeted. "Also asked for pardon for his friend."
