NBC News reported Tuesday that Bergdahl will be charged with desertion, following an interview that aired Monday night on Fox News, where a former military officer said he’s been told by sources that Bergdahl’s lawyer has been provided a list of the charges.
The Pentagon press secretary denied the report in a statement posted on Twitter.
