Washington (CNN)Then-President Donald Trump told a number of his advisers in 2020 that whoever leaked information about his stay in the White House bunker in May of that year had committed treason and should be executed for sharing details about the episode with members of the press, according to excerpts of a new book, obtained by CNN, from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.
Trump, along with then-first lady Melania Trump and their son, Barron, were all taken to the underground bunker for a period of time during the protests spurred by the police killing of George Floyd as protesters gathered outside the building. Bender writes in the book, titled "Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost, that Trump, in the days following his time in the bunker, held a tense meeting with top military, law enforcement and West Wing advisers, in which he aired grievances over the leak.
"Trump boiled over about the bunker story as soon as they arrived and shouted at them to smoke out whoever had leaked it. It was the most upset some aides had ever seen the president," Bender writes.
'Whoever did that, they should be charged with treason!' Trump yelled. 'They should be executed!'" the book reads.

If they still enforced the treason laws there would be a whole bunch of dead politicians, both D&R,in

Treason is overused. Trump is not very careful with his words, so who knows what he said? Funny the only bad things he supposedly did was say things.
Biden, Obama, Bush and Clinton all did many rotten things in office, but it seems all Trump did was fine, so they go after his words.
What I find absolutely flabergasting is the fact that for all these trash-Trump books coming out - by Wolff, by Leonning, by Bender - Trump sat down for multiple interviews for every single one. What was he possibly thinking?
Meanwhile, the Democrats erected fences around the Capitol and brought National Guard troops.
My response to this is, “So? Is he not entitled to an opinion?”
This was a WSJ reporter.
Fake and Gay.
Sources will be out soon, like 2150
Creepy Joe tells lies, breaks laws, and sniffs kids every day and CNN applauds and licks his shoes.
