Both the National Assembly and President Yoon will announce their positions and apply for a witness list.
"We will also argue whether the request for an impeachment trial is legal."
"The process of delivering documents to the Constitutional Court is not legal."
The president said, "We don't have enough manpower...Response time is running out"
Today was the first day of the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk Yeol.Representatives from President Yoon
also attended.
Let's connect to the Constitutional Court at this time and listen to President Yoon's lawyers.
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
It's literally the preparation day today. We will respond in detail on the next day after we have not prepared all of them without the service being legal.
[Reporter]
Is there a reason why you suddenly disclosed the lawyers and submitted a reason for the lawsuit today?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
There is no reason to do it suddenly, but we were trying to respond confidently to the preparatory and constitutional procedures anyway, so we are proceeding as we prepared.
[Reporter]
The court also pointed out that the document was not submitted, and you said you would submit it next time, but are you planning to submit it before the next preparation date?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
I'll prepare hard.
[Reporter]
You said you wanted to point out the problem that it was not legal to serve, can you tell me more about it?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
There is no room for interpretation that the current service has become legal no matter how much each regulation is reviewed, although the constitutional court criminal proceedings are required to apply mutatis mutandis to the constitutional court's criminal proceedings.
[Reporter]
And you said you didn't have enough lawyers, so will you reinforce the lawyers?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
The lawyers are continuing to join one after another and there are many applicants, so it will be completed soon.
[Reporter]
And it hasn't been submitted to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit yet, are you planning to submit it?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
First of all, the constitutional trial began today on the issue of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. As I prepare for the constitutional trial, I think that the constitutional trial should precede it.
And as you know, there was a problem that the investigative agency repeatedly summoned in three places, and there was a lot of room for interpretation in the question of which agency the investigation authority was, and there are issues of adjustment in advance when summoning duplicate summons and general criminal cases. There are so many problems that I wonder if a comprehensive review of them will find a countermeasure.
[Reporter]
And the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has notified him of the third summons by Sunday, but will President Yoon attend?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
As I just said, there are various problems, so we will make a decision after comprehensively reviewing them.
[Reporter]
Then, are you preparing for the possibility of an arrest or arrest warrant?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
I'm getting ready.
[Reporter]
Yoon, would you like to attend in person?President Yoon himself...
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
You will come out in person at the impeachment trial at the right time and speak for yourself.
[Reporter]
Did you order commander Kwak Jong-geun of the Yoon Suk Yeol to break the door and bring down the lawmaker or not?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
I'll tell you the details next time, but if I tell you that part, I'd like you to verify statements that don't fit the objective situation. First of all, I think you can quickly see whether it was reasonable or reasonable for the situation to be given when such a statement came out before you question whether you said it or not.
[Reporter]
You've only been given two preparation dates, isn't it too short?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
I don't know if I'll finish the preparation next time or do it again, but we'll give an opinion as we see the progress.
[Reporter]
Lawyer, are you saying that the method of shipping delivery itself was inappropriate?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
Shipment delivery has various preconditions such as kindergarten delivery. When such a premise was not met, it was considered to have been delivered without the preconditions being met. That's how we interpret it.
[Reporter]
You said you're going ahead, can I hear what the rationale is?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
The basis is that there is a part that is not legally organized, and the existing summonses are mentioned, and reports refer to summonses No. 5 and No. 6, but in each institution, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is the second summons. In addition, the prosecution's summons and the police's summons are combined to keep calculating, and such issues must be interpreted, and there is a question of whether the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has the right to investigate, and the intention is to tell you after reviewing various issues.
[Reporter]
Isn't it the 3rd of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit by the 29th?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
I understand it's twice. In the police, I understand that the police did it before.
[Reporter]
What you just said is that we need to determine whether the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has the right to investigate...
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney] It's about the interpretation of the
law.
[Reporter]
Did you have a word with the president before you came?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
I haven't seen the president today.
[Reporter]
If the service wasn't done legally...
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
I expressed my opinion to the court today through a written opinion and application. As we attend today, there is nothing more to take issue with that problem in the future. I've said enough before. I'll stop here.
[Reporter]
Will the president attend the hearing later?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
I told you earlier.
[Reporter]
You said you would get legal requirements, what are you talking about?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
I'll gradually tell you the details. I've explained everything before.
[Reporter]
Isn't decree No. 1 unconstitutional?
[Yoon Gap-geun / Yoon's press attorney]
Next time, I will fully communicate my intention through the trial process.
[Reporter]
The preparation date has been set in a week, are you planning to request another postponement?
[Yoon Gap-geun/President Yoon's press attorney]
I'll try it and do it when I'm ready, and if I'm not ready, I'll find a countermeasure then.
[Reporter]
Other than what you said in court today, do you have any other documents you submitted while applying for a delay in the preparation date?
[Yoon Gap-geun/President Yoon's press attorney]
There's no one. It's just an application for postponement. Let's do it next time. We have a lot of time. I'll see you again.
