Justice Minister Nominee Lee Yong-cheol Avoids a Direct Answer

Justice Minister nominee Lee Yong-cheol avoided giving a direct answer on the 10th when reporters asked whether he was willing to direct the withdrawal of indictments in criminal cases related to President Lee Jae Myung.

After not clearly ruling out the possibility of withdrawing the indictments the previous day, he did not state a specific position today.
Candidate Lee met with reporters while heading to work at the Defense Acquisition Program Administration inside Government Complex Gwacheon in Gwacheon City, Gyeonggi Province, at around 8:11 a.m. that day. Asked, “Would you be willing to direct the withdrawal of the indictments after seeing the results of the fact-finding?”, he replied, “The preparatory team office should be ready tomorrow, and I’ll speak about it then.”
