The Constitutional Court asked President Yoon to submit an impeachment inquiry?

[Reporter]
Yes, it was found that the Constitutional Court sent a notice to President Yoon that the impeachment trial resolution had arrived yesterday morning (16th) and asked him to submit a response.

President Yoon must submit his/her response within seven days from the time he/she is served with the resolution.

If you are served immediately, you must submit a response by the 23rd, but if the delivery is delayed, the deadline for the response may be extended.

In addition, the Constitutional Court set up a dedicated team led by senior researchers to review the legal principles.

The first meeting will be held as early as today.

The TF team, which was prepared in consideration of the importance of impeaching the president, is smaller than the case of former President Park Geun Hye's impeachment, which involved about 20 people,

There is a possibility that more manpower will be put in as the hearing progresses.

The Constitutional Court has also begun the process of requesting opinions or necessary data from related agencies, centering on Judge Jeong Hyeong-sik, who was designated as the chief judge.

Yes, President Yoon Suk Yeol also began to respond by preparing to form a defense team,
It is known that
is looking for a lawyer from the prosecution who will take charge of the investigation and a lawyer from the Constitutional Court who will take charge of the impeachment trial, led by former Korea Communications Commission Chairman Kim Hong-il.

The Constitutional Court plans to quickly respond to pending issues, such as briefing public information officers, but also look into the case fairly in accordance with laws and principles.

The preparation date for the first hearing of the impeachment trial is 2 p.m. on the 27th,
After organizing the
issue and psychological plan, it is expected that we will be able to start formal arguments as early as next month.
