Rear Admiral John Kirby makes a statement on Sgt. Bergdahl, Via CSPAN.

REAR ADM. JOHN KIRBY, DEPT. OF DEFENSE: There has been lots of speculation about -- we have gotten lots of emails and questions today about the state of the case of Sgt. Bergdahl, so let me just put a fork in this now if I can.

No decision has been made with respect to the case of Sgt. Bergdahl, none, there is no timeline to make that decision, and General [Mark] Milley is not being put under any pressure to make such a decision... There is a process here... Sgt. Bergdahl has not been charged with any crime.

REPORTER: Just to clarify, he has not been charged at this point?

KIRBY: Sgt. Bergdahl has not been charged with any crime.
