Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae said he did not ask him to make a phone call in connection with a suspicion that an aide at the time had called the unit during the extension of his son's military leave.



In today's (14th) political questionnaire on the first day of the regular National Assembly's question on the government, Minister Chu responded to the question of Rep. Yoon Jae-ok, the power of the people, saying, "I couldn't afford to tell you whether the actual aide called or motivated it. I said.



"I haven't called you," Mr. Chu replied to a question about the suspicion that the couple had inquired the Ministry of Defense's complaints office in June 2017 to extend their son's vacation.



When Rep. Park Hyung-soo accused him of saying,'When an aide asked if there was any phone call to the unit on the 1st, he answered that there was no minister', Minister Chu also clarified, "There are cases where I cannot hear the questions clearly." .



As to whether or not the aide's phone was checked afterwards, he said, "I don't want to check, because I can't intervene in the investigation, and that itself will cause suspicion."



When asked by Lee Tae-gyu of the People's Party,'Is the opposition's arguments or media reports a political offensive?' I looked at the factory and checked."



In addition, to the additional question,'A part of the passport raises conspiracy theories, is it because of a conspiracy?', he replied, "The member of the lawmaker who raised the issue and transcribed it also made a speech at the Taegeukgi rally and played a leading role in a political over-the-counter rally."



It is interpreted as referring to the fact that Rep. Shin Won-sik, who raised the suspicion of the son of Minister Chu, attended a rally led by Pastor Kwang-hoon Jeon and a conservative group in October last year.



Minister Chu added, "If reasonable doubts are possible, we should investigate," he added. "I think that some of the ruling party can raise the relevance, but as a State Council member, I am cautious to tell you."



When asked whether the investigation of the suspicion of the Seoul East District District Prosecutor's Office could be done fairly, he said, "I don't even get a report, but why is there an unfair reason?"
