The seventh trial for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol will begin at 10 a.m. on the 11th at the Constitutional Court. President Yoon arrived at the court around 9 a.m. that day.
On that day, former Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sang-min, National Security Office Director Shinwon, former Vice Administrator of the National Intelligence Service Baek Jong-wook, and Secretary-General of the National Election Commission Kim Yong-bin will testify.
The National Assembly and President Yoon's side are expected to question former Minister Lee regarding the Cabinet meeting held just before the declaration of a state of emergency on December 3rd of last year. Additionally, questioning regarding allegations of election fraud against former Vice Administrator Baek and Secretary-General Kim is anticipated.
Meanwhile, the last trial date specified by the Constitutional Court in President Yoon's impeachment case is the eighth trial on the 13th. The court's spokesperson said on the 10th, "The scheduling of trial dates is up to the judges. We have not yet received any information regarding additional dates."
Accordingly, attention is drawn to whether the Constitutional Court will schedule additional trial dates. Previously, former President Park Geun-hye received an impeachment ruling after 17 trial dates, while former President Roh Moo-hyun was acquitted after seven trial dates.
