The FBI informant who helped the Justice Department secure a conviction against the top official from the US subsidiary of Rosatom, the Russian atomic energy agency , but was blocked by the Obama Justice Department from testifying about Russian efforts to bribe and extort their way into possession of North American uranium assets - a process which was cleared by both Hillary Clinton's State Department and Robert Mueller's FBI - has as of moments ago been cleared to testify, the Justice Department announced on Wednesday evening. Around the time the deal was approved, Bill Clinton received a $500,000 speaking fee from a bank with ties to the Russian government , as well as millions more in "charitable contributions" to the Clinton Foundation from entities with ties to the Russian government.
