South China Sea deal with Xi Jinping: Why ex-Philippine President may face treason charges

For the first time in U.S. history, an American president faces criminal charges. But it’s not any of the commanders-in-chief who sent thousands of Americans to die in senseless overseas wars or the one who gave military technology to China in the '90s. And it's not the current corpse occupying the White House (the one with a trail of evidence indicating he peddled influence to multiple nations, including China). No, Donald Trump is on trial, and his alleged crime is bad bookkeeping.
