I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Lim Sungjae!

Yes, in the parliamentary audit of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, whether to request a search warrant for Kim Gun-hee in connection with the alleged stock price manipulation has emerged as a hot topic.
Initially, the prosecution's investigation team explained, "We requested a search warrant once, but it was rejected," but the Democratic Party of Korea pointed out that it was different from the fact.
Chung Chung-rae, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, and others said why they announced that the warrant that had not even been requested was rejected, and asked that this was a lie.
Lee Chang-soo, head of the Central District Prosecutors' Office, explained that the request for a warrant in the early stages of the investigation was related to the case of Kim's alleged sponsorship of preferential treatment, but
At the time of
, the same investigation team investigated both cases and answered that it was not a lie.Let's listen to
[Jeong Chung-rae / Chairman of the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee, Minjoo Party of Korea: Why did you announce that you requested a search warrant that you didn't even request and was rejected?]
[Lee Chang-soo / Chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office] I don't think it's a lie, and I was briefed after the fact.]
The People's Power said the prosecution would have released the results based on evidence and legal principles, stressing that it was a matter of intense investigation, especially during the Moon Jae In government, requesting all kinds of warrants along with account tracking.Let's listen to
[Joo Jin-woo / People's Power: Kim Gun-hee was not identified as the overall suspect at the time, so please submit the overall status of all unspecified warrants, which were rejected and which were issued.]
In the process, the meeting was adjourned for a while within an hour of the start of the parliamentary audit.
Throughout the parliamentary inspection, the ruling party raised its voice that no crime should be made just because there is controversy, and the opposition party set the day that the prosecution has been reduced to a servant protecting Kim.

The confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties is also sharp, but factional conflict is intensifying within the ruling party over the Kim controversy, right?

President Yoon Suk Yeol and Representative Han Dong-hoon are scheduled to meet next Monday.As representatives
have publicly presented the 'three major demands' such as the suspension of Kim's external activities, personnel reform, and clarification of suspicions, this issue is expected to become the biggest topic in the meeting between the two.
First of all, representative Han Dong-hoon criticized the third Kim Special Prosecutor Act, which was proposed by the Democratic Party again, as not possible and realistic.Let's listen to
[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of People's Power: What the Democratic Party of Korea is doing is not actually intended to do anything, but it is repeating things that are more unlikely and unrealistic, knowing that it will be rejected.]
However, there is a sense of crisis that there is less and less justification to block the independent counsel law within the close-knit community.
An official told YTN on the phone, "If we don't find a solution in this meeting, we will be on the defensive."
On the other hand, a pro-Yoon Seok-yeol official gave a sharp response to YTN, asking if it was an open surrender to the president.
Rep. Kwon Sung-dong also pointed out Han's public proposal, saying that no matter how healthy food or medicine you throw, it's the same as rejecting it.

In a word, Lee expressed that yesterday was the day of the death of the rule of law in the Republic of Korea.Let's listen to
[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: Yesterday was the day of the death of the rule of law in Korea. I hired a security guard to protect the thief, and this guard became a thief and robbed the store.]

In particular, the Democratic Party revealed that it has concluded that it is proceeding, saying that the leadership has shared the impeachment drive of Prosecutor General Shim Woo-jung.
