The South Dakota House has impeached the state’s attorney general for his conduct surrounding a 2020 fatal car crash

FILE - South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg, joined by a bipartisan group of state attorneys general, speaks to reporters in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington on Sept. 9, 2019. The South Dakota House is set to decide Tuesday, April 12, 2022, whether Ravnsborg should be impeached for his conduct before and after he struck and killed a pedestrian on the shoulder of a highway. PIERRE, S.D.

The 36-31 vote in the Republican-controlled House broke from a GOP-backed majority report from a special investigative committee that recommended against impeachment. That report argued Ravnsborg’s actions in the crash were unrelated to his official duties. Gov. Kristi Noem, also a Republican, had pushed for impeachment, arguing that he lied to investigators. So had Democrats, who produced a minority report that argued Ravnsborg was not “forthcoming” to law enforcement officers and had abused the power of his office.Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg
