Arrest of impeached South Korean president suspended after standoff

From CNN.

South Korean investigators have suspended efforts to enforce an arrest warrant for impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol on January 3 after a standoff took place between investigators from the Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) and around 200 soldiers and members of the presidential security outside Yoon’s residence. A warrant to detain Yoon was signed earlier this week for the first time ever against a sitting president of South Korea after multiple investigations, including accusations of leading an insurrection. Yoon’s attorney calls the warrant “invalid,” and is fighting it in court. #cnn #news
