South Dakota Attorney General Removed from Office

“The South Dakota Senate has voted to remove Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg (R) from office during his impeachment trial Tuesday,” the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reports.

Associated Press: “Ravnsborg, a first-term Republican who only recently announced he wouldn’t seek reelection, showed little emotion as senators convicted him first of committing a crime that caused someone’s death. They then delivered another guilty verdict on a malfeasance charge that alleged he misled investigators and misused his office.
