He mentioned that he was taking the position in which he was speaking. Abe’s comment, based on the secretary’s information, criticized that “it was a lie, not a fact as a result,” and asked for an apology for lying at the Diet.

In response, Abe reiterated that “Kubei made it clear that he did not provide sushi to last night’s meeting” and “gave a false answer as a result.” I would like to apologize to all members of the Diet, including Representative Kuroiwa. “
