The Samsung executive who hosted President Biden on a tour of a South Korean computer chip plant on Friday had to be excused from a hearing in a fraud trial to do so.Lee Jae-yong was allowed to skip court to welcome Biden and his South Korean counterpart, Yoon Suk-yeol, to the facility in Pyeongtaek, a court spokesperson told Reuters. Lee’s absence was uncommon, as he had attended every single hearing in the case related to a 2015 merger between two Samsung-affiliated companies.
