Representative Lee, the day before said "Prosecutor dictatorship regime destroys constitutional order"
[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] On the 29th, the Presidential Office stated that it has "no position regarding Representative Lee Jae-myung" of the Democratic Party of Korea, who was summoned for investigation by the prosecution the previous day over suspicions related to Wirye and Daejang-dong, and criticized it as a "prosecutor dictatorship regime."
A senior official of the Presidential Office, when asked by a reporter at the Presidential Office in the afternoon about Lee's remark calling it a "Yoon Seok-yeol prosecutor dictatorship regime" as he went to the prosecution, replied bluntly, "We have no position regarding Representative Lee."

This is interpreted as emphasizing that the Presidential Office is unrelated to the prosecution investigation while refraining from commenting on the remarks made by Representative Lee, who is under investigation by the prosecution.
When Representative Lee appeared at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office as a suspect the previous day, he claimed, "The Yoon Seok-yeol prosecutor dictatorship regime is destroying the rule of law and constitutional order."
In particular, he expressed, "The Yoon Seok-yeol prosecutor dictatorship regime is the worst scene where state power has been privatized to eliminate political opponents."
