Investigate Potential Treason by President Trump and Secretary Hegseth Text SIGN POWYGX to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to immediately investigate deeply troubling allegations that President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have engaged in conduct that may meet the constitutional definition of treason. These allegations, now circulating publicly, include claims that the President declared a “war from within” to military leadership and employed federalized National Guard forces against U.S. states over the explicit objections of governors. If substantiated, such actions could constitute “levying war against the United States,” one of the only two definitions of treason established by the Constitution.
Our Constitution deliberately defines treason narrowly. It is not a term to use lightly, and I do not do so here. But neither can Congress ignore serious, credible allegations that a sitting President has used military authority in a way that targets the United States itself or its states as enemies. Even the suggestion that the President directed military force domestically with the stated intent to “wage war” against internal political opponents demands immediate, bipartisan scrutiny.
Reports claim that President Trump expressed intentions to use military and federalized Guard forces not to protect the nation, but to “straighten out” political rivals and dissenting states, framing it as an internal war. The reported deployments and federalizations allegedly proceeded despite objections from governors who viewed the moves as unlawful, unnecessary, and unsupported by facts on the ground. If these accounts are accurate, the President may have sought to use military power not in service of national defense but as a personal weapon against the very constitutional order he is sworn to uphold.
Congress cannot treat such allegations as political noise or rhetorical exaggeration. You are the branch of government specifically entrusted with the power of impeachment and the responsibility to guard against abuses of power, including treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. That responsibility is not optional. It does not depend on election cycles, party politics, or public fatigue. It depends solely on the rule of law.
I am asking you to do the following:
1. Demand the full release of transcripts, orders, communications, and memoranda related to the President’s alleged “war from within” remarks and all directives concerning Guard deployments and federalizations.
2. Convene or support a formal investigation through the appropriate committees to determine whether any actions taken by the President or Secretary Hegseth constitute levying war against the United States or its states, abuse of military authority, or other impeachable offenses.
3. If the evidence supports it, move forward with articles of impeachment that reflect the gravity of the offense. Treason, or any conduct approximating it, cannot be minimized or ignored.
If the allegations are false or overstated, an investigation will provide transparency, restore confidence, and reaffirm constitutional boundaries. If they are true, then Congress must act decisively to uphold its oath and protect the Republic.
Silence or inaction in the face of these claims would be an abdication of constitutional duty. Please treat this with the urgency it demands. https://resist.bot/petitions/POWYGX
