, ‘Regarding the suspicions surrounding Kim Jung-sook’s solo visit to India’s Taj Mahal in 2018, which sparked controversy in the aftermath of the memoir of former President Moon Jae-in, member Lim Yi-ja of the People Power Party hinted at the intention to pursue a special prosecutor.’,
,
, ‘At a party strategy meeting held at the National Assembly this morning (24th), Lim emphasized, “The essence of the controversy surrounding Kim Jung-sook is not whether Mrs. Kim was the one who invited, but whether the government’s power was abused for Mrs. Kim’s personal desires in each controversy. If she used taxpayer money to buy clothes, travel and create nonexistent overseas schedules, this is blatant abuse of state affairs.”‘,
,
, ‘Lim further emphasized, “When the existing investigative agencies have not made progress properly, the introduction of a special prosecutor is necessary; the suspicions surrounding Mrs. Kim perfectly meet the requirements for activating a special prosecutor.”‘,
,
, ‘After the party strategy meeting, Choo Kyung-ho, the floor leader, responded to reporters’ inquiry about whether they plan to officially pursue a special prosecutor for Kim Jung-sook, saying, “When the 22nd National Assembly is established, we will seriously consider how to proceed on this matter and assess the necessity of a special prosecutor law, as raised strongly today.”‘,
