Michigan tribal leaders request probe into casino's federal approval
View Comments
Lansing — Three tribal leaders from Michigan are asking for an investigation into the handling by former President Donald Trump's administration of a casino project planned for Muskegon County.
In a letter sent Monday to Mark Lee Greenblatt, the inspector general for the U.S. Department of the Interior, the tribal leaders contended that the off-reservation project of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians gained federal approval in December in a bid to "create enormous controversy in the state of Michigan and in particular to Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer."
