I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Na Hye-in!
The Senior Superintendent of Public Offences is coming to the National Assembly today, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee will be held from 2 p.m., and it is expected to receive pending questions from lawmakers of the ruling and opposition parties after the review of the bill.
First of all, the People's Power is trying to arrest President Yoon by receiving another illegal warrant from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which does not have the right to investigate allegations of rebellion.
Kwon Sung-dong, the floor leader of the People's Power Party, said in a morning meeting that the warrant of an agency without investigation authority is unconstitutional in itself, criticizing the difference between buying goods with counterfeit bills.
On the other hand, the opposition party points out that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit failed to execute the arrest warrant in the court, causing social confusion.
Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, stressed that President Yoon must be arrested along with the police if the warrant is issued again, saying that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit wasted a week on the public's enthusiastic support and expectations.
In addition, today's judiciary committee is expected to fight over the decision of the opposition National Assembly's prosecution to not consider whether the president's impeachment trial will be established under the criminal law.

The opposition party is also raising the level of its offensive against Acting President Choi Sang-mok, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, the Democratic Law Commission said today that it is accusing Acting Chief Executive Choi Sang-mok of dereliction of duty and other charges.
He cited the reason that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police interfered with the execution of legitimate warrants by assisting the presidential security office in the attempt to arrest President Yoon.
The leadership is drawing a line, but some within the Democratic Party are furious that Acting President Choi Sang-mok should also be impeached.
The Democratic Party of Korea is also strongly criticizing lawmakers who visited their official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul yesterday against the arrest of President Yoon.
Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the party, said that the people's power is increasingly going down the path of an unconstitutional party with the far-right, and accused him of changing the party's name to a "party that embraces rebellion."
On the other hand, the power of the people responded that the Democratic Party of Korea lost its reason because it was desperate to hold the next presidential election early.
It is said that speeding up the forced investigation of President Yoon and the impeachment trial despite the controversy over due process is a political intention considering the "trial risk" of representative Lee Jae-myung.
In a phone call with YTN, a key ruling party official claimed that the Democratic Party of Korea is not paying attention to procedures and is running wildly in line with Lee's trial timetable unconditionally.
Internally, it is also seen that conservative supporters are gathering.
A ruling party lawmaker with a district in the Seoul metropolitan area told YTN that the atmosphere has definitely changed a lot and that there are many complaints urging them to join the protest in front of the official residence.

In the morning, a special parliamentary investigation committee was held to find out the truth about the alleged rebellion, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, the special committee on the investigation of the Yoon Suk Yeol government's alleged rebellion through the declaration of emergency martial law held its second meeting, and the competition between the ruling and opposition parties was fierce.
The opposition party asked the ruling party lawmakers who visited their official residence against the arrest of President Yoon if they were qualified to participate in the parliamentary investigation.
If the ruling party decided to exclude the crime of rebellion from the impeachment trial, the purpose of the parliamentary investigation should also be changed, and there was a loud voice.
First of all, the ruling and opposition parties adopted 177 people, including Prime Minister Han Deok-soo and Acting President Choi Sang-mok, as institutional witnesses.
The witness list also included former martial law commander Park An-soo and former counterintelligence commander Yeo In-hyeong, who are under arrest, and the opposition party is also considering holding a hearing at a detention center.
An agreement on the adoption of general witnesses was not reached today.
The opposition party says it will make sure that President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is being investigated for the head of the rebellion, is a witness for the parliamentary investigation.
On the other hand, the ruling party argues that Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, should come to the National Assembly to testify about the situation based on the fact that he discussed the possibility of martial law with party leaders even before the declaration of martial law.
