Hillary Clinton Says ‘Uranium One’ Allegations Are Politically Motivated “Baloney”

As demands intensify for the DOJ appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether the Clintons were involved in a quid-pro-quo surrounding the controversial Uranium One Deal – where the former Secretary of State voted to approve a deal that ceded 20% of American uranium reserves to a Russian company – Hillary Clinton is finding that she can no longer ignore the burgeoning scandal.
So, in an interview with C-Span published Monday, Clinton hit back at the allegations, claiming they’d been discredited and debunked long ago (of course that was before new reporting by the Hill revealed the FBI had uncovered a Russian bribery plot shortly before the deal was approved). Furthermore, Clinton claimed the Trump administration was using the story to distract from Russia investigations.
“I would say it’s the same baloney they’ve been peddling for years, and there’s been no credible evidence by anyone. In fact, it’s been debunked repeatedly and will continue to be debunked,” she said.
