(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, 13 SEPTEMBER - Ken Starr, the procurator of impeachement to former President Bill Clinton has died of a series of complications due to surgery in Houston.
Cnbc reports it citing his family.
He was 76 years old.
Appointed by the then President of the Washington Court of Appeals, then Attorney General of the State under George Bush, the former magistrate was best known for coordinating the Whitewater investigation in the 1990s against the Clintons.
The investigation is remembered above all for the part relating to the relations between the then President Bill and the intern MonicaLewinksy but it was much larger and had started from a series of real estate investments of the Clintons in Arkansas.
The investigation then expanded to the sex gate and the impeachment of the president in the House for perjury and obstruction of justice.
Clinton was later acquitted in the Senate.
