​
SEOUL, Feb. 4 (Yonhap) -- President Yoon Suk Yeol said Tuesday that nothing actually happened regarding his martial law decree, denying allegations that he ordered military commanders to drag lawmakers out of parliament in an attempt to prevent them from blocking its imposition.
Yoon made the claim while attending the fifth formal hearing of his impeachment trial at the Constitutional Court in Seoul.
​
The National Assembly voted to impeach Yoon over his shocking, albeit short-lived, imposition of martial law on Dec. 3. Yoon was indicted over charges of leading an insurrection and has been under arrest.
​
Yoon is also alleged to have sent military troops to the National Assembly to keep lawmakers from voting down the martial law declaration and to have planned to arrest key political figures.
​
"Looking into the case, noting actually happened. But there is talk of me making an instruction of the sort. I feel like we are chasing the moon's shadow on a lake," Yoon said. "You would know the true nature of this case if you saw it based on common sense."
​
Yoon claimed that dragging lawmakers from parliament could not have been possible as there are thousands of civilians in the National Assembly compound and troops were withdrawn after martial law was lifted.

​
During Tuesday's session, Lee Jin-woo, former head of the Capital Defense Command, said he had not received orders from Yoon or then Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun to prevent lawmakers from voting to lift martial law.
​
Lee reportedly told prosecutors earlier that Yoon ordered him to instruct troops to carry out lawmakers from inside the National Assembly building on the day martial law was imposed, "firing guns and breaking down doors" if necessary.
​
Lee, who was accused of involvement in the martial law imposition and is currently under arrest, was called as a witness by the National Assembly's legal team.
​
The parliamentary team has been acting as the prosecutor in the trial on whether to uphold or reject the Assembly's impeachment of Yoon.
Asked if Kim's order to send troops to parliament was legal, Lee said he still believed it was legitimate in accordance with the Martial Law Act.
Lee, however, refused to testify further.
​
"I myself am involved in a criminal case and a process is under way to determine whether to accept or deny the prosecution's report," Lee said, referring to his own trial on charges he played a key role in an insurrection.
​
"I am aware it is a serious and important situation, but please understand that I am restricted considerably," he said, suggesting his answers could work against him.
​
Yeo In-hyung, former head of the Defense Counterintelligence Command, also attended the session as a witness but refused to testify.
​
Yeo allegedly received orders from Kim to arrest and detain opposition leader Lee Jae-myung and then ruling party leader Han Dong-hoon, among others.
​
Hong Jang-won, former first deputy director of the National Intelligence Service, also attended the hearing. He has told lawmakers that he received a phone call from Yoon instructing him to "round them up and get rid of them."
​
Yoon has defended his actions as a "warning" to the opposition party while denying giving orders to arrest politicians.

尹대통령 "아무 일도 일어나지 않았다"…'끌어내라' 지시 부인

탄핵심판 5차 변론서 직접 발언…"호수 위 달그림자 쫓는 느낌"

탄핵심판 5차 변론 참석한 윤 대통령

(서울=연합뉴스) 권희원 황윤기 이도흔 이민영 기자 = 윤석열 대통령은 12·3 비상계엄에 관해 "실제 아무런 일도 일어나지 않았다"고 주장하며 국회의원을 끌어내 국회의 계엄 해제 의결을 막으려 했다는 의혹을 부인했다.

윤 대통령은 4일 오후 헌법재판소에서 열린 탄핵심판 5차 변론에 출석해 이진우 전 육군 수도방위사령관의 증언이 끝난 뒤 발언 기회를 얻어 이같이 말했다.

윤 대통령은 "이번 사건을 보면 실제 아무런 일도 일어나지 않았는데 지시했니, 지시받았니, 이런 얘기들이 마치 호수 위에 빠진 달그림자 같은 걸 쫓아가는 느낌을 많이 받았다"고 말했다.

이어 "자기 기억에 따라 얘기하는 것을 대통령으로서 뭐라고 할 수 없습니다만 상식에 근거해 본다면 이 사안의 실체가 어떤 건지 잘 알 수 있지 않겠느냐는 말씀을 드리고 싶다"고 덧붙였다.

이 전 사령관의 공소장에는 윤 대통령이 지난해 12월 4일 새벽 이 전 사령관에게 직접 전화해 "아직도 못 들어갔어? 본회의장으로 가서 4명이 1명씩 들쳐업고 나오라고 해"라고 지시했다고 적혀 있다.

윤 대통령은 이에 관해 "수천 명의 민간인이 경내에 있었던 것으로 보이고 국회의사당 본관에도 수백명이 있었을 것"이라며 "계엄이 해제되고 군 철수 지시가 이뤄졌는데 그게 과연 가능한 일인지…"라고 말했다.

이 전 사령관은 이날 윤 대통령으로부터 이 같은 지시를 받았는지 여부에 관해서 양측 대리인단과 재판관의 질문에 증언을 거부했다. 검찰 공소장에 적힌 내용 중 대부분이 잘 기억나지 않는다고도 했다.

문형배 헌재소장 권한대행은 윤 대통령이 증인을 직접 신문하는 것은 금지하되, 증언이 끝난 뒤 입장을 밝힐 수 있도록 했다. 이는 재판관 평의에 따라 결정한 것이라고 문 대행은 설명했다.
