Clinton Body Count Grows: Investigator Who Exposed Bill Clinton Scandal Dies Of ‘Surgical Complications’

Ken Starr, whose investigation into former president Bill Clinton uncovered the Monica Lewinsky scandal, passed away on Tuesday in Houston, Texas, at the age of 76.

According to the BBC, the former Reagan judicial appointee passed away as a result of “surgical complications.” The specific surgery he underwent and the “complications” he is alleged to have experienced are still unknown.

“We are deeply saddened with the loss of our dear and loving Father and Grandfather, whom we admired for his prodigious work ethic, but who always put his family first,” his son Randall said, according to CNN. “He is now with his Lord and Savior,” he added, according to CBS News.

Daily Caller report: Former President Ronald Raegan appointed Starr to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Washington, D.C., circuit, according to CNBC. He also served as U.S. solicitor general under former President George H.W. Bush.

Starr’s investigation into the Clintons’ Whitewater real-estate scandal resulted in the second impeachment of a United States President after uncovering that Bill Clinton was having an affair with one of his interns, the New York Post reported. Clinton’s denial of his relationship with intern Monica Lewinsky led to the Republican-majority house to impeach the former President on articles of perjury and obstruction of justice in connection, according to the outlet.

Starr recently worked for former President Donald Trump’s legal team, representing the former President in his impeachment trial in January 2020, Axios reported.

“He was a brilliant litigator, an impressive leader, and a devoted patriot,” Senate Majority Mitch McConnell stated, according to CBS News. “Through his distinguished service on the D.C. Circuit, as Solicitor General, as independent counsel, and beyond, Ken poured his remarkable energy and talent into promoting justice, defending the Constitution, and upholding the rule of law.”
