Bowe Bergdahl names Trump, McCain as defendants in lawsuit challenging court-martial

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 lawsuit later refers to Trump’s alleged actions in the Bergdahl case as "scandalous meddling." The filing also contends that 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.
