Washington jockeys for Clinton uranium-scandal testimony

'Why was Congress not informed of this matter?'

WASHINGTON – Chiefs of several congressional committees on Thursday started jockeying for time and testimony from an FBI informant on Bill and Hillary Clinton’s involvement in the Uranium One deal a few years ago, shortly after the informant was told that he had been released, apparently by President Trump himself, from a non-disclosure agreement.

Several congressional figures contend that they were kept in the dark about the scandal when it transpired, but now they’re demanding the Obama administration be held accountable for the apparent corruption that is being uncovered.

Members of the House Oversight Committee and the House Intelligence Committee are keen on having the FBI’s former informant specify the Kremlin’s relationship with the Clintons and launched a probe into the 2010 deal.

The Senate Judiciary Committee already had the facts about the sale on its radar.
