Lee Jae-myung’s Corruption Trial Postponed Due to Exemption for Sitting President

This is one of the main reasons why Lee Jae-myung needed to become President, to avoid prosecution:

A district court said Tuesday it has decided to postpone President Lee Jae Myung’s trial on charges of misusing public funds, following two similarpostponements last month.

During a hearing on the case, the Suwon District Court said trial proceedings will remain on hold without setting a date for the next hearing, suspending the case.

The court cited the need for Lee to “fully dedicate himself to fulfilling his constitutional duties and ensure continuity in state affairs” as the president as the reason for suspending the trial.

Under the decision, the trial will remain on hold until the court sets a date for proceedings to resume.

The decision came amid speculation the court could postpone the fourth preparatory session as the Constitution exempts a sitting president from criminal indictment except in cases of treason or insurrection. Lee was elected president last month.

Absolute criminal. He isn’t even a real president in the first place. He’s a puppet by the CCP. Don’t worry, something is going to happen..we’ll see..

Mind your own business Joshua Lee. Worry about your own government in Washington. They’re in the process of denaturalizing US citizens, and you are in danger of being stripped of your US citizenship. It would be very unfortunate if you’re ordered to self-deport yourself to nowhere (South Korea doesn’t welcome you) and then forced to serve your time in the new Aligator Alcatraz concentration camp in Florida.
