Former U.S. Army Sgt. Robert “Bowe” Bergdahl is in the news again with a lawsuit he has filed against former President Trump and the late Senator John McCain, accusing them of exerting undue influence in his court-martial that took place in 2017.
Bergdahl was accused of abandoning his post and deserting in Afghanistan in 2009. He was charged with endangering the lives of his fellow soldiers. Now, he has filed a civil lawsuit in an attempt to overturn his court-martial conviction.
The disgraced Army sergeant filed the suit Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Both Trump and McCain are accused of “unlawful command influence” in the lawsuit. Trump’s alleged conduct was also referred to as “scandalous meddling.”
Also included in the filing is a fact that seems to have little to do with Bergdahl’s court-martial. He is claiming that a military judge handling his case did not disclose that Bergdahl had applied for a lucrative job at the U.S. Justice Department.
