Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano joined the 'Fox News Rundown' podcast Thursday to offer a legal perspective on coronavirus after Missouri became the first state to file a lawsuit against China in an attempt to hold Beijing accountable for the severity of the pandemic.

'At the present time, they don't have a case because of the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act [of 1976], which basically says American courts do not have jurisdiction over the behavior of foreign governments and that, of course, would bar nearly any lawsuit against the government of China,' Napolitano explained.

'Now, there are some efforts in both houses of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, to amend this law so as to permit these lawsuits,' he added. 'So it's hard to say how the Chinese would react to that.'

The Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act (FSIA) restricts Americans' ability to sue foreign governments except in certain circumstances. Missouri officials say that by suing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) -- which largely controls the Chinese government -- in addition to the government itself, they will be able to bring their claim without running into a FSIA roadblock. Additionally, state officials claim their suit falls within some of the FSIA exceptions, including one concerning commercial activity.

However, even if the lawsuit does go forward, Napolitano explained that the collection of evidence related to the origins of the virus and China's mishandling of related data would be difficult to obtain in an American courtroom.

'How would an American federal judge possibly determine what caused the virus and caused it to spread?' he asked. 'The judge can't go by media reports because that's all hearsay. The judge would actually have to have firsthand evidence in a courtroom, which at this point is nearly impossible to provide.'

Last week, U.S. officials told Fox News a full-scale investigation has been launched into whether the virus, which has brought the global economy to its knees, escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China. The investigation will likely be a long one, and the findings will be presented to the Trump administration upon completion. At that point, White House policymakers and President Trump plan to use the findings to determine how to hold the country accountable for the pandemic.

Fox News analyst Judge Napolitano vented his frustration about Monday's 'secret' hearing in the Roger Stone trial, claiming the presiding judge is biased against President Trump's associate.Napolitano blasted Attorney General William Barr for allowing D.C. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson to place a gag rule on Stone and hold a brief with regard to allegations that a juror and the judge herself were biased against Stone from the outset of the trial.' No one should be happy about secrecy whether you like Stone or dislike him — whether you like the president or you dislike him,' said Napolitano on Varney and Co. Tuesday morning. 'This is a hearing to determine whether there was jury impropriety in the trial — whether a juror failed to disclose her preconceived prejudice against President Trump and against Roger Stone. Why is it secret?

We're not being given a reason.' He added, 'This is absolutely Stalinistic.' Claims of juror imprudence and calls for a mistrial have swirled during and after Stone's trial. Jackson has been criticized for her handling of the case after she. It was also revealed earlier this month that juror Tomeka Hart on social media, including sharing from CNN commentator Bakari Sellers that criticized Republicans for their unhappiness over Stone's arrest in 2019.'

She has gagged Stone,' added Napolitano. 'It is one thing to gag the defendant during a trial because you don't want them going out talking to the press, and it's a way to communicate with the jury. There is no jury. There is no trial.

He's been convicted. He's been sentenced. The gag serves no legitimate governmental purpose, and yet, she's enforcing it on him and his lawyers. Question: Why is the Bill Barr Department of Justice not opposing this secrecy and not opposing this gag rule?' Last week, Stone received a 40-month after being found guilty of witness tampering and lying to the House Intelligence Committee. His legal team asked Jackson to recuse herself from the case over her praise of the jury, but she over the weekend.
