Former President Donald Trump put out a statement on Friday saying that Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, should be "tried for treason" — a crime punishable by death — for taking extraordinary steps to prevent a war with China during the Trump presidency.

In his lengthy statement, Trump skewered The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa's reporting in the book "Peril," and called Milley "one of the dumber generals in the military."
