Then-Presidential Office spokesman Ting Yun-kung speaks to reporters in Taipei on Aug. 21. Control Yuan members Wang Mei-yu (王美玉) and Chi Hui-jung (紀惠容) said they had contacted the reporter and hoped she would help the investigation to determine whether Ting’s alleged affairs affected his administrative responsibilities. However, to protect her interests, they contacted her as members of the new National Human Rights Committee, not as Control Yuan members, they said. Wang and Chi said they had not ruled out questioning Control Yuan President Chen Chu (陳菊), who was Kaohsiung mayor from Dec. 25, 2006, to April 20, 2018. Control Yuan members would follow the law and their authority in investigating the case, Chen said, adding that she was not concerned about such a probe.
