When does the National Assembly start asking questions?
[Reporter]
The National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee will be held at 2 p.m. soon, and lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties are expected to ask questions about pending issues against Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit Director Oh Dong-woon after the bill is reviewed.
The people's power is holding the position that they do not have the right to investigate the charge of giving to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and Minister Oh is trying to arrest President Yoon by illegally obtaining another warrant.
Floor leader Kwon Sung-dong criticized the warrant of an agency that does not have the authority to investigate as unconstitutional in itself.
[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: Does it make sense to lead the execution with such a fake warrant? What's the difference between buying things with counterfeit bills? In the end, it is illegal to reduce the investigation without investigation and the command without command to two letters.
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 with the police if the warrant is issued again, saying that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit wasted a week on the support and expectations of the people.
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]
The Democratic Party of Korea's legal committee held a press conference a while ago and said it would file a complaint with the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters on charges of dereliction of duty.
I heard that when President Yoon attempted to arrest President Yoon, he prevented the execution of a legitimate warrant by assisting the presidential security service.
The leadership is still drawing a line, but some within the Democratic Party are furious that Acting President Choi Sang-mok should also be impeached.
The opposition party is also strongly criticizing lawmakers who visited their official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul yesterday against the arrest of President Yoon.
The Democratic Party of Korea accused the people of not being qualified to use the people in the name of the party, saying that the people's power is increasingly going down the path of an unconstitutional party with the far-right.
[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: Even today, on the 36th day of the insurrection, the party is delaying the impeachment trial and investigation by protecting the Yoon Suk Yeol of the number one Yoon Suk Yeol and playing all kinds of tricks. Rather change the name of the party to 'the party that embraces the bully'.]
On the other hand, the power of the people was countered that the Democratic Party of Korea lost its reason due to the eagerness of the early presidential election.
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 schedule 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 wild in line with Lee's trial timetable unconditionally.
Inside the ruling party, it is also seen that conservative supporters are gathering.
A ruling party lawmaker whose metropolitan area is in his district told YTN that the atmosphere has definitely changed a lot and that there are a series of complaints urging him to join the protest in front of his residence.

In the morning, a special parliamentary investigation committee was held to find out the truth about the alleged rebellion, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, more than 180 people, including Prime Minister Han Deok-soo and acting President Choi Sang-mok, were adopted as institutional witnesses, and the fight between the ruling and opposition parties was fierce.
The opposition party criticized the ruling party lawmakers who visited their official residence against the arrest of President Yoon, saying they were not 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.
An agreement on the adoption of general witnesses was not reached today.
Tomorrow, the National Assembly will re-vote the Insurrection Special Counsel Act and the Special Counsel Act on Kim Gun-hee, where Acting President Choi Sang-mok exercised his right to request reconsideration.
