Uranium one and Russia

In January of 2013, a Russian company Rosatom takes over a Canadian company with uranium interest in the US. Several men in this company were large donors to the Clinton Foundation. These same men then sold off their interest to Russian and the company became Uranium One. The CEO of this new company donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation. A Russian bank promoted Uranium One stock paid Bill Clinton $500,000 for a Moscow speech. The US and Uranium One both agreed not to sell uranium to Russia but those promises were broken. The concern heightened when the Clinton Foundation received $250 million from mostly foreign nations during Hilary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. No direct ties between the Russians and the Foundation were uncovered so the investigation was stopped.
