The FBI is now investigating what led to Flint’s water crisis. The agency is working with federal prosecutors who are looking in to the high lead levels in Flint’s water.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s investigation arm and office of inspector general and the postal service’s inspection division is working with the U.S. Attorney’s office too.
The FBI’s involvement comes as a U.S. House committee prepares for testimony Wednesday on Capitol Hill.
An EPA whistleblower who tried to sound the alarm on high lead levels in Flint’s drinking water, the new head of the state agency that oversees water quality and the emergency manager who oversaw the city’s switch to a different water source have all been invited to testify.
Former emergency manager Darnell Earley won’t appear.
