Bowe Bergdahl targets Trump, McCain comments in lawsuit challenging court-martial
By Dom Calicchio
(FOX NEWS) - Former U.S.
Army Sgt. Robert Bowe Bergdahl, who was court-martialed in 2017 after being accused of abandoning his post in
Afghanistan and endangering fellow service members, has filed a civil lawsuit in a bid to overturn his conviction.
The court filing names the United States as the defendant. It seeks to determine whether the U.S. military erred in failing to remedy unlawful command influence by former President
Donald Trump and the late U.S. Sen.
John McCain, R-Ariz., and whether a military judge in Bergdahl’s case had failed to disclose he had applied for a high-paying job with the U.S. Justice Department.
