Ken Starr, the prosecutor who led the investigation into Bill and Hillary Clinton’s controversial Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky scandals, has died at the age of 76.

Starr died after battling a lengthy illness, KWTX reported on Tuesday.
Starr gained national fame for his role as the independent counsel investigating the Whitewater real estate controversy and the Lewinsky affair, which led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton.

He is also a former solicitor general who argued 36 cases before the Supreme Court and was a member of former President Donald Trump’s defense team during one of his impeachment trials, which ended with Senate acquittal.
