Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg of South Dakota was convicted by the state’s Senate on June 21 of two impeachment charges in connection with a car crash in 2020 that claimed the life of a pedestrian.

The vote to impeach the Republican came after hours of questioning from lawmakers, who didn’t appear to believe Ravnsborg’s account of the crash, and also triggered his automatic removal from office.
