A high-powered lawyer remembered for his role in the ’90s on former independent counsel Ken Starr’s team investigating the Clintons filed a motion Sunday to be admitted pro hac vice as a defense attorney for former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

Robert J. Bittman, a partner at the McGuireWoods LLP law firm already representing Meadows, filed the motion on the eve of a key hearing in Meadows’ bid to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ (D) 2020 election racketeering (RICO) case from state court to federal court.
