Malcolm Slee, Principal of Groom Law Group, advises employers and institutions on legal aspects of corporate payroll and finances. He works in Washington D.C. and keeps a close eye on laws that impact the economy, companies, and employees.   

In today’s episode, Slee discusses the current state of talks between lawmakers in Washington. He offers close observations and thorough knowledge on recent turbulence surrounding the next round of coronavirus relief and its implications going into a presidential election.   

Episode highlights:

  • Answers to the questions: What are President Trump’s four recent executive orders and memoranda on extending COVID-related aid, and will they face any challenges?
  • Implications of current events on the upcoming federal budget bill. (Could we have a government shutdown, in the thick of an election, during these unprecedented times?)
