'''Kenneth Winston Starr''' (born July 21, 1946 | '''Kenneth Winston Starr''' (born July 21, 1946) is an American lawyer who served as a United States circuit judge and 39th Solicitor General of the United States. He is best known for heading an investigation of members of the Clinton administration, known as the Whitewater controversy. | ||
Starr served as a federal Court of Appeals judge and as United States solicitor general for George H. W. Bush. He received the most public attention for his tenure as independent counsel while Bill Clinton was President of the United States. Starr was initially appointed to investigate the suicide of deputy White House counsel [[Vince Foster]] and the Whitewater real estate investments of Bill Clinton. The three-judge panel charged with administering the Ethics in Government Act later expanded the inquiry into numerous areas including suspected perjury about Bill Clinton's sexual activity with Monica Lewinsky. After more than four years of investigation, Starr filed the Starr Report, which alleged that Bill Clinton lied about the existence of the affair during a sworn deposition. The allegation led to the impeachment of Bill Clinton and the five-year suspension of Clinton's law license. | Starr served as a federal Court of Appeals judge and as United States solicitor general for George H.
