Trump says secret calls to China by Milley described in Woodward book amount to treason:

“If it is actually true — which is hard to believe that he would have called China and done these things and was willing to advise them of an attack or in advance of an attack — that’s treason,” he told Sean Spicer and Lyndsay Keith.
