Trump says feds may sue Edenville Dam owner, Michigan reporter booted from rally

President Donald Trump said at a rally in Freeland on Thursday evening that the federal government may sue the owner of the Edenville Dam after it failed earlier this year, causing catastrophic flooding in the Midland area.

“It’s a privately owned dam; I think we’re going to have to sue the ass off of the company that has it,” Trump said.

Attorney General Dana Nessel announced in June that the state of Michigan would sue Boyce Hydro, which owns the Edenville Dam and the Sanford Dam, which also failed in May, for “gross mismanagement” and negligence. The owner of Boyce Hydro, Lee Mueller, has been a vocal Trump supporter.

The last time Trump was in Michigan in May, he announced he had signed an emergency declaration for Midland due to the flooding.
