"President has never even brought up the 'sieve' of arrest"... and repeatedly insisted.

Yoon Suk Yeol's president has repeatedly insisted that he has never ordered the arrest of key politicians after declaring an emergency martial law.Lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, who helps President

Yoon, told reporters today (19th) that the president "has never even taken out the body of the arrest."

The president met lawyer Seok himself and told him these words, and lawyer Seok stressed that the president, a lawyer, has never used the term "arrest anyone" or "bring out lawmakers."

At the same time, he claimed that only a few soldiers were dispatched to the National Assembly, and that the president asked not to clash with citizens.

Asked when the formation of the defense team would end, he declined to comment, but when it was pointed out that it was dragging its feet, he said, "That's the way the opposition party has been doing it."

When asked if he will attend the impeachment hearing preparation date scheduled for the 27th, he said the preparation date is not for the person concerned, adding that even if he or she goes, lawyers will attend and it is a matter for the lawyers to decide.
