FORT BRAGG, N.C. — A top U.S. Army general is scheduled to testify Wednesday about why he destroyed letters he received from supporters and critics of Sgt. The defence is seeking to allow another commander to decide whether the case warrants a general court-martial. The destruction of the letters is one of several reasons the defence says Abrams should be disqualified. They also cite his prior role advising former U.S. Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel during efforts to return Bergdahl from captivity and questions about whether Abrams considered defence objections to the findings of a preliminary hearing. The judge overseeing Bergdahl’s case, Army Col. Jeffery Nance, decided Monday that Abrams must testify this week.
