김승원 법무부 장관 후보는 이재명 대통령 관련 형사 사건의 공소 취소 여부는 법무부 또는 검찰·공소청에 검토하도록 지시할 의향을 밝혔습니다. 그는 과거 민주당 '이 대통령 사건 공소취소 모임' 공동 대표로서의 정치적 활동과 장관 직무를 구분하며, 필요 시 직무 회피 등 관련 법령에 따라 판단하겠다고 답변했습니다. 또한 검사의 직접 수사권 전면 폐지를 주장하며, 수사와 기소를 분리하고 검찰 본연의 역할인 '공소 제기 및 유지'에 집중해야 한다고 강조했습니다. 김 후보는 검찰 보완 수사권 폐지에도 찬성하는 입장을 표명하며, 새로운 형사사법체계 안착에 최선을 다하겠다고 약속했습니다.
Justice Minister nominee Kim Seung-won said he intends to instruct the Ministry of Justice or the prosecution and court to review whether to drop criminal charges against President Lee Jae-myung. He said he would distinguish between his past political activities as co-representative of the Democratic Party's 'President Lee Case Prosecution Cancellation Meeting' and his ministerial duties, and would make a judgment according to relevant laws, including duty avoidance if necessary. He also argued for the complete abolition of prosecutors' direct investigative powers, emphasizing that investigations and prosecutions should be separated and that prosecutors should focus on their original role of 'filing and maintaining charges'. Kim also expressed his support for the abolition of the prosecution's supplementary investigative powers and promised to do his best to establish a new criminal justice system.
Kandidat Menteri Kehakiman Kim Seung-won menyatakan bahwa ia bermaksud untuk menginstruksikan Kementerian Kehakiman atau kejaksaan dan kantor kejaksaan untuk meninjau apakah dakwaan dalam kasus pidana yang terkait dengan Presiden Yoon Suk-yeol akan dibatalkan. Ia mengatakan bahwa ia akan membedakan antara aktivitas politiknya di masa lalu sebagai ketua bersama kelompok 'Movimento untuk Pembatalan Dakwaan Presiden Lee' dari Partai Demokratik dan tugasnya sebagai menteri, dan akan membuat keputusan berdasarkan hukum yang berlaku jika diperlukan. Dia juga menyerukan penghapusan sepenuhnya hak penyelidikan langsung oleh jaksa, menekankan bahwa penyelidikan dan tuntutan harus dipisahkan dan kejaksaan harus fokus pada peran aslinya yaitu 'mengajukan dan mempertahankan dakwaan'. Kandidat Kim juga menyatakan dukungannya untuk penghapusan hak penyelidikan tambahan bagi jaksa dan berjanji akan melakukan yang terbaik untuk membangun sistem peradilan pidana yang baru.
