Cummings has ‘grave concerns’ Mich. governor lied under oath

Published April 7, 2016 5:26pm ET



The top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hit Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder for a number of perceived missteps he has made following his congressional testimony on the lead-contaminated water in Flint.

Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland sent Snyder a letter Thursday expressing concerns that he possibly perjured himself when he told the committee that he’s working closely with local leaders such as Flint Mayor Karen Weaver. After that statement, it was disclosed that the governor’s office didn’t consult Weaver at all about a 75-point plan to help Flint recover from its water crisis.
