Former U.S. Ambassador Morse Tan's legal team spoke to press in Seoul on June 11.
Attorneys filed a recusal motion and a complaint with South Korea's top prosecutors, alleging abuse of authority.
"Judicial violence operating in the interests of Lee Jae-myung."
"It damages the ROK-US alliance and South Korea's national interests."
A reporter asked whether there is evidence of Lee Jae-myung's juvenile detention.
His attorneys responded: that question is for Lee himself to answer.
"The public wants answers about Lee's juvenile detention and a 1978 incident. Lee Jae-myung, as head of state, has an obligation to answer. Shifting that burden to the public is not right."

The whole world must open its eyes to A-WEB.
In an era where nations everywhere are being undermined by election fraud, one of the central hubs of this sinister network resides right here in South Korea.
Crushing election fraud in South Korea will be a monumental leap toward defeating it across the globe.
Citizens of the world, rise up in anger and tear down A-WEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fight for your freedom!!!!!!!!!
