Former Army Special Warfare Commander reaffirms Pres. Yoon ordered removal of lawmakers from Assembly

Meanwhile.

Former Army Special Warfare Commander Kwak Jong-keun today reaffirmed that he was ordered by President Yoon Suk Yeol to drag lawmakers out from the National Assembly when martial law was imposed on December 3rd.

At a hearing on Tuesday of an Assembly special committee investigating the Yoon administration's alleged insurrection plan, Kwak testified that at the time, no troop members were inside the building.

His claim contradicts that of former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun at a Constitutional Court hearing that Yoon ordered "members of the military," not "members of the Assembly," to be removed.

Kwak will testify at the Constitutional Court's sixth hearing on Thursday.
