Uranium One From 2009 to 2013, the Russian atomic energy agency (Rosatom) acquired Uranium One, a Canadian company with global uranium mining stakes including 20% of the uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset with national security implications, the acquisition was analyzed by a committee of nine government agencies, including the State Department, which was then headed by Clinton. The voting members of the committee can object to such a foreign transaction, with the final decision resting with the President. In April 2015, The New York Times reported that, during the acquisition, the family foundation of Uranium One's chairman made $2.35 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation. The donations, which were legal, were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite a prior agreement to do so. In addition, a Russian investment bank with ties to the Kremlin, and which was promoting Uranium One stock, paid Bill Clinton $500,000 for a speech in Moscow shortly after the acquisition was announced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_Foundation%E2%80%93State_Department_controversy#Uranium_Oner
