South Korean lawmakers have questioned President Park Geun-hye’s medical staff and high-level officials about her activities the day the Sewol Ferry sank in 2014. President Park was suspended following her impeachment over corruption and dereliction of duty. Families of the victims believe the impeachment will help uncover the truth behind the tragedy that cost the lives of 304 people, mostly schoolchildren. Frank Smith reports from Seoul.
