Ex-Governor Rick Snyder Is Reportedly Being Charged for the Flint Water Crisis

Rick Snyder, the Republican governor of Michigan at the time of the toxic water crisis in Flint, will face charges for his role in the public health catastrophe that poisoned the city’s supply, according to the Associated Press.

Two people who know of the prosecution told the AP that the state attorney general’s office informed defense attorneys on the case that indictments were imminent. The nature of the charges wasn’t immediately clear, but Snyder, former state health department director Nick Lyon, and others are expected to be charged.

On Tuesday, a spokesperson for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel told VICE News the office was “not in a position to comment on the details of the team’s ongoing investigation, but they are working diligently.”
