Julian Assange, while not an American citizen and not formally classified as a traitor, has been accused of crimes related to the dissemination of classified information. In the United States, the distribution of classified information can be viewed as a threat to national security, but this does not equate to being classified as a traitor under U.S. law. The term "traitor" typically refers to actions that directly harm the state or aid an enemy power, and Assange's situation is not categorized as such.
