Sioux Falls, South Dakota — 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.
By late Monday, the House Select Committee on Investigation plans to issue a final report, which will include parts of the crash investigation that have not been redacted by the committee. Lawmakers will also discuss whether to recommend Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg's impeachment.
The report will assess the conduct of the state's top law enforcement officer and set the tone for House lawmakers as they prepare to vote on his impeachment.
