“A cover-up is what this is. It’s as bad as the crime," said Rep. Tim Goodwin, R-Rapid City, referring to a House committee that recommended against impeaching Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg. State officials will answer lawmaker questions about the Ravnsborg investigation on Wednesday, just six days before the full House consider impeachment.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem accused a top Republican state lawmaker of "covering" for state Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg after a committee recommended against impeaching him for his involvement in a fatal car crash.
Gov. Kristi Noem's Public Safety Secretary sent a letter to House Speaker Spencer Gosch outlining new allegations of improper behavior by Ravnsborg, including eight traffic stops prior to night he struck and killed pedestrian Joe Boever.
