The 'charge' for treason IS "treason." TREASON - A betrayal, treachery, or breach of allegiance.

The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offense is punishable by death. See: http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/t103.htm

Yes, providing aid to an enemy of the United States can be considered treason under certain circumstances.

However, whether a specific act constitutes treason depends on the intent and the context of the aid provided, as well as the legal definitions and interpretations that apply.
