What prior public statements or actions by Trump or Hegseth establish the context for this claim of 'treasonous' reports?

Trump and Hegseth have never explicitly labeled any specific media report as "treasonous," nor have they equated such reporting with the crime of treason. There are no recorded official directives, public condemnations, or legal threats from either man that link the word "treasonous" to a particular story in a way that sets a contextual precedent. Both men have used inflammatory language against the media at large, but no documented instance applies the term to a specific report with enough clarity to support the claim.
