Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon dismissed the Democratic Party's response to the 'political repression' and 'war' as "a crime investigation, not a war" by the prosecution's investigation into Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung.
A minister who attended the plenary session of the Special Committee on Budget and Settlement of the National Assembly on the morning of the 5th answered the reporter's question as follows.
Minister Han said that although the investigation was "a criminal investigation, not a war," he said, "It is natural and not wrong for a person under investigation to defend himself in various words."
We also asked about the suspension of the execution of former professor Jeong Kyung-shim and the possibility of CEO Lee Jae-myung's refusal to attend, so please check this video.
