Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder's private attorneys withheld documents related to the Flint water crisis from state lawyers investigating the matter, the state's attorney general said.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette told reporters Tuesday that his investigators are being stonewalled by Snyder's private attorneys, who are set to receive more than $1.2 million in taxpayer funds for providing the governor with legal counsel."The attorneys with the Department of Attorney General are handling themselves in an exceedingly exceptional fashion," Schuette
said at a round table, according to the Detroit News. "But it's the governor's private attorneys who were not providing sufficient information."
Schuette, a Republican, said that his office is currently bargaining with the GOP governor, but will not rule out legal methods to obtain the documents related to the lead contamination of the Flint, Michigan water supply.
"One way or another, we'll make sure we get the documents we need," he said,
according to Michigan Radio.
