Traitor: A History of American Betrayal from Benedict Arnold to Donald Trump

The United States faces ongoing cyber attacks on its electoral processes from a hostile foreign power, with twelve agents indicted for interference. Intelligence officials have stated the country is at a critical point, with digital infrastructure under attack. Donald Trump's response has been to deny collusion while his administration deflects charges against him. Meanwhile, Trump has praised Vladimir Putin, the man overseeing these attacks, and has criticized U.S. intelligence officials. Rothkopf argues that attacking national defense leaders while under foreign attack to benefit a foreign adversary constitutes treason. As Trump denies involvement and attacks others, many Americans believe he is betraying the United States. Rothkopf examines the legal case against Trump and defends the country and its citizens.
