Ken Starr, a member of President Trump's defense team in the Senate impeachment trial, referenced two recent sports cheating scandals in his defense of the president on Monday. Starr compared this alleged failure to follow the rules by the House of Representatives to two cheating scandals that roiled American professional sports in recent years. "And at the foundation of those authentic forms of justice is fundamental fairness," Starr said. Rules are rules. Deflategate is the name given to a scandal involving the NFL's New England Patriots, who used underinflated footballs during the 2015 AFC Championship Game.
