The Constitutional Court has ruled against the impeachments of four officials, including the head of the nation's audit agency and three top prosecutors here in Seoul ahead of the much-anticipated verdict that will decide the president's political fate.
For more on this, we turn to Professor Paik Eun-seok from Handong International Law School.
Thank you for joining us this morning.
1. The court has dismissed the parliament's motions to impeach four state officials.
2. Initially, it was widely believed that an impeachment ruling for the president would be made this week, but it appears to have been pushed back.
3. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo also awaits the court's decision, after the National Assembly voted to impeach him.
4. Back in 2017, during former President Park Geun-hye's case, the Constitutional Court justices unanimously approved the parliament's motion to impeach her.
5. The Constitutional Court is currently one short of its full nine-member bench.
Alright Professor Paik. Thank you so much for connecting with us. We appreciate it.
