People Power Party's Jang Dong-hyuk: "Democratic Party Wants Judiciary Committee Chair to 'Cancel Lee Jae-myung's Trials'"

People Power Party Representative Jang Dong-hyuk claimed that the Democratic Party's push to secure the chairmanship of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee is aimed at canceling the trials of Lee Jae-myung.
Representative Jang wrote on his social media this afternoon (the 30th), "The reason the Democratic Party is desperate to take the Judiciary Committee chair is ultimately to 'cancel Lee Jae-myung's trials.'"
He continued, "They destroyed the judicial system for two years with Choo Mi-ae and Seo Young-kyo, and since that was not enough, they are now trying to push for a 'special counsel for trial cancellation.'"
"Think carefully about what the reason might be," Jang added, "The people's judgment is not far off."
The National Assembly plenary session is scheduled to be held at 5:00 PM today.
The ruling and opposition parties have continued negotiations over the 17 standing committee chair positions and the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts chair position, but have failed to reach an agreement.
The Democratic Party, which holds a majority of seats in the National Assembly, is expected to unilaterally elect the chairs of 11 committees during the plenary session.
In particular, the Democratic Party and the People Power Party have been at odds over who should hold the position of Legislation and Judiciary Committee chair.
