Bill & Hil Hid Link to Russian Donors

She OK'd uranium mining deal.

The Clinton Foundation was linked to the Russian atomic energy agency's 2013 acquisition of a company that controls one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the U.S., The New York Times reported Thursday. Russian agency Rosatom took over Canadian company Uranium One, making it one of the world's largest uranium producers in three transactions from 2009 to 2013. Hillary Clinton was among those who signed off on the deal while she was Secretary of State. Canadian records also revealed that during these transactions leaders of the Canadian company gave donations to the Clinton Foundation, including $2.35 million from the Uranium One chairman's family foundation. Those donations were not made public despite Hillary's agreement with the White House to identify all donors. Just after Russia announced its plan to acquire a stake in Uranium One, former President Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank linked to the Kremlin.
