President of the Day: Another ROK Government Official Tied to Choi Scandal

Reporters gather in front of the house of former presidential chief of staff Kim Ki-choon in Seoul on Nov. 28, 2016, as a passenger car comes out of it. The lawyer of Cha Eun-taek, an arrested associate of President Park Geun-hye’s indicted confidante Choi Soon-sil in an influence-peddling scandal, said the previous day Cha had met with Kim at his office in 2014 through an arrangement by Choi. The testimony by Kim Jong-min, Cha’s attorney, fueled suspicion about Kim’s involvement in the scandal. (Yonhap)
