— A South Dakota House committee investigating whether the state's attorney general should be impeached for his conduct surrounding a 2020 fatal car crash is set to finish its work this week, wrapping up a monthslong investigation that has splintered the state's Republicans.
One of the governor's top officials, Secretary of Public Safety Craig Price, laid out an argument for impeachment in a public letter to the committee this month. He noted that Ravnsborg was distracted when the crash happened, criminal investigators didn't believe his account, and that the attorney general consulted with a digital evidence expert in his office before turning his phone over to investigators.
House Speaker Spencer Gosch, the Republican leading the impeachment committee, said its final report would include details on how Noem has tried to"influence the investigation." Even if the committee doesn't recommend action, there will likely be a separate push to impeach him. Republican Rep. Will Mortenson, who introduced articles of impeachment last year, said his argument for doing so has only been confirmed by testimony from law enforcement officers who investigated the crash.If the House impeaches Ravnsborg, he would be removed from office at least temporarily.
