South Korean investigators have halted efforts to enforce an arrest warrant for impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol following a standoff with around 200 soldiers and presidential security outside his residence. This historic warrant, the first ever against a sitting South Korean president, was signed after probes into accusations of insurrection. Yoon’s attorney has labeled the warrant “invalid” and is contesting it in court.

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
