The president of Yoon Suk Yeol applied to postpone the first preparation date for the impeachment trial, but it was not accepted.

In the first day of organizing the issues and evidence, President Yoon did not prepare the data requested in advance by the Constitutional Court.

At the same time, he reiterated that he did not have enough time to respond to the referee.

However, the Constitutional Court asked for cooperation from President Yoon, saying that the presidential impeachment case is the most important compared to other impeachment cases.President

Yoon's position is that there were no violations of the Constitution and laws in the process of declaring martial law, and even if there were, it was not a serious violation to justify the dismissal.

In addition, he argued that the National Assembly's request for an impeachment trial and the Constitutional Court's process of delivering documents were not legal.

On the other hand, the National Assembly plans to gradually prove the reasons for impeachment, including the declaration of martial law, the announcement of decree 1, and the obstruction of parliamentary activities using the military and police.

[Kim Yi-soo / Representative of the National Assembly: For the early normalization and stability of this country, we will do our best to ensure that the decision to dismiss the President of Yoon Suk Yeol is made quickly in accordance with the procedures.]

When the National Assembly said it would add the confiscation of the phone of the NEC staff by the martial law army to the reason for prosecution,

President Yoon immediately refuted that the judgment should be conducted based on the existing prosecution resolution,
The two sides plan to continue a fierce battle over whether the impeachment trial was legal from the beginning.
