The leader of South Korea’s ruling party said Friday that President Yoon Suk Yeoul needs to be immediately suspended from duty to protect the country from “grave danger,” in a dramatic reversal of opinion that compounds the pressure building on Yoon ahead of an impeachment vote in parliament. Han Dong-hoon, chief of Yoon’s own People Power Party, told reporters he received “credible evidence” that Yoon had ordered the arrest of key politicians during the short-lived martial law imposed on Tuesday night. Just hours before Han gave that news conference, he sat down for an exclusive interview with CNN’s Ivan Watson.
