A parliamentary subcommittee approved a bill on Nov. 4 to appoint a special counsel to investigate allegations of fabricated indictments under the previous administration, including those involving President Lee Jae-myung. The ruling Democratic Party endorsed the bill and plans to push for its passage this week, with the subcommittee passing it a day after it was brought to the legislation and judiciary committee. The special counsel team also raided the National Election Commission and its Seoul office on Nov. 4 over allegations that officials altered voting logs in a ballot shortage case during the June 3 local elections.
