The truth about that ' Clinton â uranium deal
Clinton
Trump  tweeting Sunday  wrote about the "Uranium to Russia deal" in a string of criticisms about the Clintons and Democrats.
Trump has discussed the agreement on numerous occasions â including an October 2016 campaign event when he said that  Hillary Clinton  "gave Russia 20% of American uranium  and  you know   she  was paid a fortune."
Trump's renewed focus on  the deal  is seen by many as a distraction tactic amid the Robert Mueller-led investigation into possible Russian collusion with members of his campaign during the 2016 election.

With help from  Bill Clinton 's connections  Canadian mining tycoon Frank Giustra in 2005 was able to secure a key uranium mining deal in Kazakhstan for his company UrAsia Energy. Months later  according to a New York Times report  Giustra donated more than $30 million to  Clinton 's foundation â donations that remained secret for years. Uranium One obtained UrAsia Energy in 2007.
In 2008  then-President George W. Bush's administration reached a nuclear cooperation agreement with Russia  but  the deal  was withdrawn from Senate consideration after Russia attacked Georgia.
Through  the deal   Rosatom â Russia's nuclear agency â gained a majority stake in Uranium One  and with it control of nearly 20% of the U.S. national uranium extraction capacity.
Under  the deal   no uranium at U.S. mines can be exported  except for some uranium yellowcake  which was later returned to the United States.
As Secretary of State  Hillary Clinton  among other members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States  would have input over the deal. But the approval rested with Obama   not Clinton .
