The ranking Democrat on the US House Oversight Committee wants to subpoena Governor Rick Snyder.
He’s looking for more answers on when the governor become aware of a fatal outbreak of Legionnaire’s disease.
Congressman Elijah Cummings wants the governor to explain apparent inconsistencies between his testimony before Congress and the testimony of a top aide in a criminal trial. The confusion focuses on when Governor Snyder first became aware of a fatal outbreak in 2015 of Legionnaire's disease in Genessee County.
Cummings says the governor’s office is withholding documents that could help explain what he knew and when.
A spokesperson for the governor said there would be no response to a “political” request from Cummings. The governor has said he stands by his testimony before the committee.
