ACLJ Demands Documents on the Obama Administration’s Uranium One Nuclear Debacle
By Jordan Sekulow
In 2010, the Obama administration approved the sale of a controlling stake in Uranium One, and with it, control over 20% of America’s uranium production capacity, to Rosatom, an energy conglomerate owned and controlled by the Russian government. The Russians obtained total control of Uranium One by 2013, and by extension control over a large portion of America’s strategic nuclear resources.
This approval was granted by the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS).
This week, we sent legal demands to multiple agencies involved in that process to expose what the Obama Administration knew when they approved the controversial transfer in light of the fact that:
1. the FBI was investigating bribes, kickbacks and racketeering by the Russian conglomerate’s American subsidiary calculated to compromise contractors in the American nuclear energy industry and the Attorney General’s representative sat on the CFIUS;
2. Russian nuclear officials had reportedly given $145 million to Clinton Foundation and then-Secretary Clinton’s representative sat on the CFIUS; and,
3. then-Secretary Clinton’s husband received $500,000 from the Russian government for a speech in Moscow.
Let’s break this down. First, the Obama Administration approved a deal that transferred 20 percent of American uranium production capacity to a Russian-owned energy conglomeration. That in and of itself is disturbing. What’s more, prior to the approval of that deal, the FBI had collected “substantial evidence” that the Russian nuclear industry, operated by the Russian government, “had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.” The head of the FBI’s leading agency, the Department of Justice, sat on the CFIUS and apparently voted to approve the deal.
