The Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano has responded to Donald Trump’s Twitter attacks, asking: “This is the way you treat your friends, how do you treat your enemies? Oh boy.”
Last week, in comments that attracted widespread attention, Napolitano argued that the Mueller report showed Trump obstructed justice, and called the president’s behavior “unlawful, defenseless and condemnable”.
On Saturday, Trump responded with tweets bashing the “hostile” TV personality, who he claimed had asked him for a seat on the supreme court.

Speaking on Fox Business Network’s Mornings with Maria on Monday, Napolitano said he and Trump had been “ friends for 30 years and probably will be for the next 30 years”. The president’s comments about him, he said, “were brilliant”.
“He wanted to divert attention from what Mueller had said about him,” he said, “and what I had commented about Mueller to his relationship with me, his relationship with me is not the story.”
