Ken Starr, former President Bill Clinton's impeachement attorney has died
from a series of complications from 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 Monica Lewinksy but it was much larger and started from a series of real estate investments by 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.
