Attorneys for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl said they may seek a deposition from Donald Trump or call him as a witness at a legal proceeding, saying they fear his comments could affect their client's right to a fair trial.
Bergdahl's
attorney Army Lt. Col. Franklin Rosenblatt asked Trump in a letter
dated on Saturday for an interview to discuss his comments about
Bergdahl, who faces military charges after walking off a post in
Afghanistan in 2009.
Defense
attorney Eugene Fidell previously asked, publicly, that Trump cease
making comments about Bergdahl, such as his comment in October that the
soldier was a 'traitor, a no-good traitor, who should have been
executed.'

Fidell has also previously said that Trump gave incorrect information about rescue efforts for Bergdahl during public speeches.
He said the Republican presidential candidate's statements could affect Bergahl's right to a fair trial.
The
letter sent to Trump's New York office by registered mail said the
interview would determine whether they will seek to have him give a
deposition or appear as a witness at a legal hearing.
'I
request to interview you as soon as possible about your comments about
Sergeant Bergdahl during frequent appearances in front of large
audiences in advance of his court-martial,' Rosenblatt wrote in the
letter on U.S. Army letterhead.

Fidell
said in an email to The Associated Press that Trump's statements 'raise
a serious question as to whether he has compromised Sgt. Bergdahl's
right to a fair trial.'
A spokeswoman for Trump's campaign did not immediately respond to an email and a phone call seeking comment.
Bergdahl
faces charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, a
relatively rare charge that carries a punishment of up to life in
prison.
