CLINTONS/LEGAL/ROBERT MUELLER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Ken Starr would love to hear from Donald Trump. He thinks he could help. The former independent counsel whose investigation into President Bill Clinton led to Clinton’s impeachment says President Trump has enough to be worried about that he’ll need good lawyers around him as he decides whether to sit down with special counsel Robert Mueller…As he promotes his new memoir, ‘Contempt,’ Starr—who says he probably wouldn’t have written the book if Hillary Clinton had won, reasoning that it would have damaged her presidency unfairly—says “President Trump would be well-advised’ to read the book, or at least listen to the audio version, and take a lesson from it: ‘Facts will come back to haunt you eventually,’ said Starr. ‘The truth ends up coming out, and so you better deal with those facts.’ Twenty years after the Clinton impeachment saga, Starr is amazed at the continued relevance of these issues. And he’s fascinated by the mechanics of how to mount a legal defense of Trump, a man for whom Starr reluctantly voted in 2016 (he says he cast his ballot not because of a grudge against Hillary Clinton, but due to a commitment to limited government).”
