He had the affairs, but someone decided to release this information now, despite the Trump administration supposedly knowing about the Chinese spy for a while now. They even waited until just after the midterms to leak the information.

Congress did approve large settlements under Obama.
The cases where Congress didn't under Obama were usually because the government was suing a private company, and the settlement was being paid out by the company not the government.
Would it be too expensive in a world with cheaply made, abundant humanoid robots to replace laborers in agriculture, trucking, grocery stocking, etc.?
There will always be scarcity and opportunity cost of some kind, but I don't really see why basic subsistence for the masses would be out of reach for a future with more technologically achieved material abundance than we now have. If AI ever starts messing around in the world of atoms in a big way, UBI seems like a trivial option.
The bigger problem is there wouldn't be a lot of incentive to set society up to keep the human masses alive, if the humans don't provide any benefit to society over another robot, either physically or mentally. Like, even if the decisions are made by humans, if the humans are relying on the advice of AIs, there's probably a sense in which humans are really just rubber stamping decisions made by smarter, more powerful AIs, because those will tend to have the best outcome for a given human policy goal.
