Watch Michigan Governor Testify Live on Flint Water Crisis

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder will address his handling of the Flint water crisis in testimony before a Congressional committee on Thursday.

The embattled governor is expected to walk a fine line during the testimony. He has acknowledged and apologized for his administration’s inadequate response to lead contamination in Flint’s water supply. At the same, he will seek to show that the blame doesn’t rest solely on the state government.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy will also testify before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Thursday.
