In response to charges of treason against his former Vice President Aaron Burr, President Jefferson outlines Burr's efforts to detach the Western states and parts of the Louisiana Territory from the Union and make himself the ruler. Jefferson outlines his response to stop the conspiracy, calls for fair trials for those involved, and dismisses rumors that Burr had foreign assistance.
