“Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the transfer of 20 percent of America’s uranium holdings to Russia. Well  nine investors in the deal funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation ” he said.
“It was unanimous. Not a  Hillary Clinton  approval ” Smith said  adding that “we don’t even know if  Secretary Clinton  participated at all directly.”
Smith said that most of the funds in question had come from Frank Giustra  the founder of the Canadian uranium company  but that Giustra had sold his stake in it back in 2007  three years before the uranium/Russia deal  and a year and a half before  Clinton  took office.
“The accusation is predicated on the charge that  Secretary Clinton  approved the sale.  She  did not. A committee of nine evaluated the sale  the president approved the sale  the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and others had to offer permits  and none of the uranium was exported for use by the U.S. to Russia ” Smith said.
