Federal Judge Throws Out Bowe Bergdahl’s Court-Martial Conviction for Army Desertion
Remember Bowe Bergdahl? He is the former American soldier who abandoned his post in Afghanistan in 2009.
During the search to find him following his disappearance, as many as six soldiers were killed. Obama then ended up trading five suspected terrorists to bring Bergdahl back to the U.S. as a result.
His court-martial conviction has now been thrown out due to a claim of bias against the judge.
