South Korea Yoon’s lawyer says president will not attend first impeachment trial hearing, Yonhap reports

The Constitutional Court hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) is planning a new attempt to take Yoon into custody over a separate case relating to his failed attempt to impose martial law in early December. An arrest effort on Jan. 3 failed after an hourslong standoff with security personnel at Yoon’s fortified compound in central Seoul.
