Welcome to Courtside, everyone, where we discuss the post-election litigation brought by Donald Trump.

0:06.0

It is day 16 after the election. Today is best described as the storm before the calm.

0:13.0

I know anxiety is running higher, particularly given Trump's potentially criminal attempts to interfere with the Michigan elections, reaching out to the

0:21.6

Wayne County Board and now the Michigan legislature.

0:24.6

It's going nowhere.
