SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — With Sen. John Thune becoming Senate Majority Leader and Gov. Kristi Noem nominated for the Secretary of Homeland Security, there will be South Dakotans in some high-profile positions in Washington D.C.
The name of another South Dakota officeholder has been thrown out there. I reached out to the Attorney General’s Office Thursday and was told Marty Jackley was traveling.

So when we connected over Zoom, my first question was… ‘where are you?’
“I’m in Mar-a-Lago,” said Jackley.
Yes, that Mar-a-Lago. South Dakota’s Attorney General is at President-elect Donald Trump’s home in Florida. So, the obvious question is what is he doing there?
“I’m part of a group of former United States Attorneys and Attorneys General having a conversation about the transition and the Department of Justice (DOJ) and where it goes from here,” said Jackley.
Jackley says there has been some discussion that the DOJ has become too political.
