Hillary Clinton 'gave up' 20% of U.S. uranium to Russia?
Trump says Clinton "gave up 20 percent of America's uranium supply to Russia."
The reference is to Russia’s nuclear power agency buying a controlling interest in a Toronto-based company. That company has mines, mills and tracts of land in Wyoming, Utah and other U.S. states equal to about 20 percent of U.S. uranium production capacity (not produced uranium).
Clinton was secretary of state at the time, but she didn’t have the power to approve or reject the deal. The State Department was only one of nine federal agencies that signed off on the deal, and only Obama had the power to veto it.

Trump is desperately trying to change the narrative. Will the press bite?
