As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate
transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its
way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One's chairman used his family foundation
to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not
publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck
with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with
ties to the company made donations as well.
And shortly after the
Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One,
Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank
with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.
At the
time, both Rosatom and the United States government made promises intended to
ease concerns about ceding control of the company's assets to the Russians.
Those promises have been repeatedly broken, records show.
