The South Dakota House on Tuesday impeached state Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg over a 2020 fatal crash in which he initially told authorities he thought he had struck a deer or another large animal.
Ravnsborg will at least temporarily be removed from office pending a historic Senate trial, where it takes a two-thirds majority to convict on impeachment charges.
Yankton State Representative Ryan Cwach, who was a member of the Special Investigative Committee, spoke on the House floor Tuesday. He says Ravnsborg lied to investigators after the fatal crash…
Cwach added the Attorney General committed malfeasance regarding the crash that killed Joe Boever…
No lawmakers spoke in Ravnsborg’s defense on Tuesday. Ravnsborg will now have a trial in the Senate, no sooner than May.
