| Bergdahl lawyer may call Trump as witness in U.S. court-martial | |  Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump has made "appalling" comments about Bowe Bergdahl and may be called as a witness in the Army sergeant's court-martial on a desertion charge, one of Bergdahl's lawyers said on Friday. Eugene Fidell, a military law attorney at Yale Law School who is defending Bergdahl, said on CNN that Bergdahl's legal team has been monitoring statements by the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in November's election as possibly affecting his client's right to a fair trial. Fidell said the defence team has compiled an eight-page log of "some of the various appalling comments that Mr. Trump has made in an effort to - it's like a lynch mob actually - to incite ill will and vilification of Sergeant Bergdahl." Bergdahl is accused of abandoning his combat outpost in Afghanistan before being captured by the Taliban in 2009.

It will replace the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) Federal Investigative Services (FIS), which currently conducts each year more than 2 million background investigations for scores of federal agencies. |
| Exclusive - U.S. FTC probes Turing over drug prices, Shkreli's lawyer says | |  By Nate Raymond and David Ingram NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is investigating Turing Pharmaceuticals for possible antitrust violations in connection with the company's decision to hike the price of a life-saving drug by more than 5,000 percent, a lawyer for former Chief Executive Officer Martin Shkreli wrote on Friday. The probe was disclosed in a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Oversight and Government Reform from Baruch Weiss, Shkreli's lawyer, as grounds for why his client would not answer questions about drug prices at a Jan. 26 hearing. The committee had subpoenaed Shkreli, who has been indicted separately on securities fraud charges, to appear to discuss why, as Turing's CEO, he decided to raise the price of Daraprim to $750 a tablet from $13.50.
