Dale Bumpers, the small-town lawyer who served Arkansas as governor and in the U.S. Senate and delivered a stirring speech during Bill Clinton's impeachment trial that helped save his presidency, died at home on Friday at the age of 90, his family said on Saturday.
Bumpers died surrounded by his family, said his wife, Betty, and children Brent, Bill and Brooke Bumpers in a statement.
Bumpers had been in failing health for months. In December he suffered a broken hip in a fall at his Little Rock home. Surgery was deemed successful but he remained bedridden after returning home.
