The pleading period will begin on the 14th, right?

[Reporter]
That's right. President Yoon's formal argument for the impeachment trial is a week away.

Until the preparation date, it was a meeting to discuss future trial procedures, but from the date of pleading, the two sides will have a fierce battle in earnest.

The National Assembly and President Yoon's respective applications for witnesses will be questioned, and the evidence submitted will be examined.

The court declared emergency martial law and declared martial law, which are grounds for impeachment, and obstructed the National Assembly by mobilizing military and police,

And we look into whether there were any violations in the seizure and search of the Central Election Commission without a warrant.

To this end, the court began the process of confirming the overall facts of the martial law incident after securing the investigation records of the prosecution and the police.

The first impeachment trial of former Acting President Han Deok-soo will also be held on the eve of President Yoon's first hearing?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Constitutional Court seems to be speeding up the case of former acting Han Deok-soo.

The first hearing preparation date has been set at 4 p.m. on the 13th, a day before President Yoon's hearing date.

At that time, the impeachment bill was approved by the Prime Minister's standard, which is not the standard applied to the president by the National Assembly, that is, the majority of the registered members, leading to controversy.

If the Constitutional Court rejects the case of former acting Han's impeachment trial on the grounds of lack of quorum,
The legitimacy of the appointment of Acting President Choi Sang-mok, the successor of
will also be affected.

Although the former acting president Han's impeachment trial started later than the case of President Yoon, some predict that the issue may be concluded first because it is not complicated.

So far, I'm YTN Kwon Junsu at the Constitutional Court.
