SKorea's Yoon faces final impeachment hearing

(UPDATE) SEOUL — South Korea's expelled President Yoon Suk Yeol faced his final impeachment hearing Tuesday before judges decide whether to formally remove him from office over his disastrous martial law declaration.

Yoon was not present for the start of proceedings, the last before the Constitutional Court's eight judges go behind closed doors to decide whether to uphold his December impeachment.
