"In addition to having to figure out what’s relevant & interesting to kids, or how to explain in age-appropriate language, remember that this audience is reading with little to no outside context. Only a few paragraphs of TFK’s Q&A-format impeachment explaine d, deal directly with the question of why the House has opened an inquiry: t he House began impeachment proceedings because “an anonymous complaint says that Trump pushed the president of Ukraine to investigate former U.S. VP Joe Biden & his son for wrongdoing.” And, Biden is running for president and will compete against Trump if he wins the Dem. nomination, and adds: “Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that asking a foreign power to investigate a political opponent and interfere in a U.S. election shows Trump’s ‘betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our elections.’”
