Likewise, the Cabinet chief reiterated that the President is willing to make the necessary information transparent.
Moreover, the government's spokeswoman explained that this case is already in a legal process, adding that the Head of State has a constituted defense. Thus, "it will depend on them (defense team) how the evidentiary defense is handled."
