Napolitano told friends he was on Trump's Supreme Court shortlist
Source: Politico
Judge Andrew Napolitano may be temporarily sidelined at Fox News, but hes been telling friends and associates that he could be in for a big promotion to the Supreme Court.
After meeting with President Trump twice during the transition, first in December and again in mid-January, the Newark, N.J.-born television personality told several people that Trump said he was on the list of judges from whom he was selecting a nominee for the high court.
He said, Trump said Im on the list, said a source who spoke with Napolitano shortly after one of his meetings with the then president-elect. Hes been saying that since the transition.
Friends warned Napolitano not to take the president too literally or seriously. He'll take your call and invite you to the Oval Office, but he just wants you to say nice things about him on TV, the source says he told Napolitano at the time. But that didnt sink the ambitious judges hopes.
