President Donald Trump is not a fan of The New York Times but he has now accused them of a crime that is punishable by the death penalty.
“Do you believe that the Failing New York Times just did a story stating that the United States is substantially increasing Cyber Attacks on Russia,” he said.
“This is a virtual act of Treason by a once great paper so desperate for a story, any story, even if bad for our Country,” he said.
“Anything goes with our Corrupt News Media today,” he said. “They will do, or say, whatever it takes, with not even the slightest thought of consequence! These are true cowards and without doubt, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!”

Treason is defined in The Constitution as, among other infractions, giving aid and comfort to the enemy and one of the punishments is the death penalty.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
“Accusing the press of treason is dangerous. We described the article to the government before publication.
“As our story notes, President Trump’s own national security officials said there were no concerns,” The New York Times said.

POTUS says the Times is committing treason (it’s not) by publishing a story about US cyber attacks against Russia’s power grid but then goes onto say the story isn’t accurate.

Trump accused a newspaper of treason today. He once again used a Stalinist term to incite violence against the press. It won’t be a big story for even a few hours. That’s creeping authoritarianism. The unthinkable has become routine. And as he gets away with it, he grows worse.

The Constitution says Treason is giving aide and comfort our enemies. Perhaps you’re worried your exKGB supervisor will be angry that the American military was defending the nation from both You & Him.
