Presidential office to review bill on Lee's retirement home scandal soon

Presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said on Monday that it will review a motion authorizing a fresh probe into the now-scrapped project to build a retirement home for President Lee Myung-bak when the motion is handed over to the government.

"Now is too early to make our position (on the motion) clear," said presidential spokesman Park Jeong-ha in response to the passage of the motion by the National Assembly on Monday evening.
