Situation 1: The US President uses a military weapon like say, “a Nuclear weapon” on the Russians but the National Security Adviser secretly telephones Moscow to tell them how to neutralise the weapon… then lies about it. That’s treason right?

Situation 2: The US President uses a political weapon like say, “Sanctions” on the Russians but the National Security Adviser secretly telephones Moscow to tell them he will neutralise the sanctions… then lies about it. Is that treason too?
