The bills are piling up for the Trump campaign. Even though its legal challenges to the election don’t seem to be going anywhere, someone’s got to pay the lawyers. We discuss who is on the hook. Plus: We answer your questions about what a Biden administration may mean for businesses struggling during the pandemic, why the Fed’s Main Street Lending Program flopped, and Kai and Molly reminisce about the last time they were in the same place together, pre-COVID-19 (sigh). Here’s a list of everything we talked about today (if these links don’t work on your device, check out the episode page on makemesmart.org): “Who Is Paying for Trump’s Lawsuits and Recounts?” from Campaign Legal Center “Justice Dept. Intervenes to Help Trump in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Lawsuit” from The New York Times “Wisconsin recount would cost Trump campaign $7.9 million” from CNN “Dr. Céline Gounder, Adviser to Biden, on the Next Covid Attack Plan” from The New York Times “Fed Again Eases Terms for Main Street Lending Program” from The Wall Street Journal
