Ken Starr appears in 232 mentions across 127 documents, primarily as one of Jeffrey Epstein's defense attorneys during the 2007-2008 federal investigation. The former independent counsel who led the Clinton impeachment was part of Epstein's high-powered legal team at Kirkland & Ellis LLP.
Starr appears primarily in government records and court filings as part of Epstein's defense team, with formal correspondence on Kirkland & Ellis letterhead addressed to federal prosecutors. He is consistently mentioned alongside other prominent attorneys like Alan Dershowitz and Jay Lefkowitz who represented Epstein. Documents show Starr writing letters to the Department of Justice in June 2007 and participating in negotiations that led to Epstein's controversial non-prosecution agreement. His involvement is also referenced in investigative journalism excerpts discussing how Epstein's "army of legal superstars" helped secure the lenient 2008 plea deal.
