The Associated Press has learned that former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, his health director and other ex-officials have been told they're being charged after a new investigation of the Flint water crisis.
It's the latest twist in a scandal that began in 2014 when the source of the impoverished city's water supply was switched to save money.
It made Flint a symbol of the nation's decaying drinking water infrastructure.
The majority Black city's water system was contaminated with lead in 2014-15.
It was also blamed for a deadly outbreak of Legionnaires' disease.
