National Assembly votes to save Lee Jae-myung by single vote, revealing many within his party want to see him jailed

Prosecutors accused Lee of receiving millions of dollars from corporate sponsors as mayor of Seongnam. In exchange, Lee allegedly used his authority as mayor to provide unfair advantages to these organizations.
