Embattled South Dakota DA was reading Joe Biden conspiracy theories on his phone when he killed pedestrian with his car

South Dakota's embattled attorney general Jason Ravnsborg admits to reading Joe Biden conspiracy theories on his phone moments before fatally striking a pedestrian with his car.

Detectives examined Ravnsborg's phone records and found that he logged into his Yahoo! email account at 10:20 p.m. on Sept. 12, and moments later was viewing an article on the Dakota Free Press website.

A minute later Ravnsborg went to the Real Clear Politics website, and a minute after that -- moments before he struck and killed 55-year-old Joe Boever -- he was viewing an article about Biden on disgraced reporter John Solomon's Just The News website.

"It's an article about Joe Biden and something with China," an investigator says to Ravnsborg in video from the interview. "You were on that up to about, we're going to estimate, up to about a minute before the accident, you were on that. Do you remember any of these?"

Ravnsborg doesn't deny reading the article, which Media Matters researcher Timothy Johnson pinpoints as a Sept. 11 piece on alleged self-dealing by the Democratic presidential candidate and his son Hunter Biden.

"Well, I remember looking at it," Ravnsborg tells investigators, "but that's when I set my phone down prior to [the accident]."

Ravnsborg agrees that he waited a minute or two before calling 911 to report the accident, which he claimed at the time involved a deer and not another man, and phone records show an outgoing call from his phone at 10:24 p.m. -- which is almost the same time he was reading Biden conspiracies behind the wheel.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a fellow Republican, has called on Ravnsborg to step down and GOP state Rep. Will Mortenson has filed articles impeachment against the attorney general.

Ravnsborg faces three misdemeanor charges in Boever's death.

"It's an article about Joe Biden and something with China," "You were on that up to about, we're going to estimate, up to about a minute before the accident, you were on that. Do you remember any of these?"

"Well, I remember looking at it, but that's when I set my phone down prior to [the accident],"

"We're looking at a minute, two minutes, before you call 911, so the concern being that we know that from the time of impact there was a time period that went by before you called 911. You had to realize what was going on

a minute or two between impact and calling 911
