South Korean authorities launched a second attempt on Tuesday to search the presidential office and gather evidence related to President Yoon Suk-yeol's controversial bid to impose martial law. A joint investigation team comprising police and the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) sought access to computer servers of the presidential office's security service to obtain phone records, including one belonging to the police commissioner. This follows a previous unsuccessful attempt on December 11, during which the presidential office voluntarily submitted some data. President Yoon, who was impeached by parliament on Saturday, remains largely inaccessible to authorities.
