No doubt something needs to be done, but it certainly points to how corrupt Flint officials are, and Michigan officials for not stepping in to correct this. It's a dangerous precedent to set to step in every time a local problem erupts. (I realize this is an extreme thing going on, but it should be handled at the local and state level.) Is there legal standing for Trump to get involved? I honestly don't know.
But that is why we have the federal govt. if the state/local govt repeatedly shows that it cannot conduct itself ethically, or is repeatedly harming AMERICANS, they should step in. Just like when the FEDS ran surveillance over the southern voting policies because the southern states be trusted to follow the voting rights act

that was associated with federal legislation
what federal legislation allows direct, federal oversight over municipal water acquisitions?
