'Instead of a once-in-a-century phenomenon, which it had been, presidential impeachment has become a weapon to be wielded against one's political opponent,' Starr said.
Ken Starr, the Investigator Who Pushed for Clinton's Removal, Laments 'Age of Impeachment' During Trump TrialKenneth Starr, the investigator who once pushed for President Bill Clinton's removal, is now defending President Donald Trump from what he described Monday as a dangerous"age of impeachment."
Starr's argument that impeachment has become a political tool was met with backlash by many Twitter users, who deemed his reversal on the subject"deeply ironic." Starr played a key role in Clinton's impeachment in the late 1990s. His four-year investigation led to the Starr Report that detailed Clinton's extramarital affair with intern Monica Lewinsky and culminated in the president's impeachment, although Clinton was later acquitted in a Senate trial.
