The FBI was aware of a Russian government operation to expand its influence on the U.S. uranium market using bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering.

It was also aware that the Russians had identified the Clintons as targets for influence. Bill Clinton later gave a speech in Russia, and the Russians paid the Clinton Foundation $500,000 the same month that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton greenlit a deal that gave Russia control of 20 percent of America’s uranium.
