From the Associated Press — Lawyers for former Governor Rick Snyder are signaling that a major challenge is brewing over documents possessed by Flint water prosecutors. They told a judge that prosecutors did not use an independent team to screen for
records that might be protected by attorney-client privilege or Snyder’s executive privilege as governor. Snyder was recently charged with two counts of willful neglect of duty in Flint, a misdemeanor. Defense attorney Brian Lennon told a Flint judge that he might have to hold hearings to learn more about the records. A spokeswoman for prosecutors says Snyder’s defense team is making a
“meritless” attack that will be answered in court.
