Twenty-one years before the impeachment of President Trump, another impeachment scandal rocked the capitol. On Dec. 19, 1998, President Bill Clinton was impeached in a bipartisan vote on grounds of perjury to a grand jury and obstruction of justice. It would not be the last we heard of Ken Starr, the prosecutor who rose to prominence investigating the Clinton case.

Starr, 73, was born in Vernon, Texas, and named “most likely to succeed” by his high-school classmates. He attended Harding University in Arkansas and as a member of the Young Democrats, participated in the anti-Vietnam War movement. Starr graduated from George Washington University in 1968 with a Bachelor of Arts in history. He later attained a law degree from Duke University.
