Ken Starr, the one-time federal prosecutor who led the Whitewater investigation into Bill and Hillary Clinton during the 1990s, died Tuesday, his family said. He was 76.

Starr was appointed to a federal judgeship during the Reagan administration, and later served as solicitor general under President George H.W. Bush.

In 1994, a three-judge panel appointed Starr to lead an investigation into real estate investments made by the Clintons during the years that Bill Clinton was building his political career in Arkansas.
