BY MAX GREENWOOD - 12/29/17 09:04 AM EST
Dave Kendall, who served as a lawyer for former President Bill Clinton, rushed to defend special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation in an op-ed published Thursday, calling allegations of bias in the probe unfounded.
The op-ed, published by The Washington Post, takes aim at another opinion piece published in the newspaper earlier this week by Kenneth Starr, the former independent counsel charged with investigating scandals during Clinton's presidency, in which he argues that Mueller's investigation has been marked by partisan bias against Trump.
"The reasons given for Starrs reset are wholly specious: There is ostensibly a 'drumbeat of criticism' aimed at special counsel Robert S. Mueller III which 'has become deafening,' including 'cascading revelations of anti-Trump bias,'" Kendall wrote.
"This is true only on Fox News, in President Trumps tweets and in the shoe pounding of the Freedom Caucus at legislative hearings," said Kendall, who advised Clinton during impeachment proceedings stemming from Starr's investigation.
