Former Michigan governor Rick Snyder, his health director and other ex-officials have been told they are being charged after a new investigation of the Flint water scandal, according to reports.

The tragedy devastated the majority black city with lead-contaminated water and was blamed for a deadly outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in 2014-15.
