We wanted to know how much Vassar students knew about the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. To find out, we asked around!
I know about it, but I don’t know the exact details. I believe Trump asked the president of Ukraine [Volodymyr Zelensky] to investigate Joe Biden’s son’s business in Ukraine. Asking a foreign power to investigate a politcal rival should be subject to an impeachment inquiry.

I haven’t been keeping up with it as much as I should have been. I know about the stuff over the last few years, like the Mueller report, but I don’t know the specifics of this particular case.

I was actually just catching up on the whistleblower complaints and impeachment proccess. We talked about it in my political sci-ence class. Although I don’t think it has a high chance of passing the Senate, the impeachment inquiry is still so important because it’s official. It’s finally happening because a majority of the coun-try is finally ready to declare that their president was never an honest, trustworthy leader.

As far as I know, [President Trump] allegedly put pressure on Ukraine up to eight times to investigate Hunter Biden, and the people who want to impeach him believe that that’s an abuse of power.
