Yoon also claimed that Yoon overruled Kim’s attempt to impose a law as part of the military laws, which was evidence that the president had no intention of causing harm to the general public.
Rhee Ha-sang, the various prosecutor, said the charges of rebellion against Kim and Yoon were “ludicrous” and ignored the government’s legal authority to impose martial law when deemed important.
Kim, who attempted death on December 11 while incarcerated, has previously claimed he owes the president’s and his family’s military law case a legal precedent.
Yoon was impeached by congress on December 14 in a vote that some of his party’s judgement People Power Party members had supported. He is now facing a constitutional judge trial that will decide whether to resign or replace him.
He did not respond to the most recent summons for questioning in a distinct criminal investigation on Wednesday and did not submit the Constitutional Court’s request for legal papers, which is scheduled to hold the second hearing on Friday.
Yoon’s repeated rebellion sparked condemnation and opposition calls for his arrest.
