Fact-Check & Consensus Findings:No Single Authority: The State Department was only one of nine federal agencies on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) that unanimously reviewed and approved the deal. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission also had to sign off.
Not Personally Involved: Reviewers, experts, and fact-checkers concluded that Hillary Clinton did not personally intervene or vote to approve the transaction, and the decision never rose to her desk.
The 20% Figure: The "20 percent" metric refers only to licensed U.S. uranium capacity at the time, not actual U.S. uranium reserves or production. No Uranium One-owned uranium was permitted to leave the United States.
No Quid Pro Quo Found: Multiple investigations, including reviews by career Justice Department prosecutors, found no evidence linking Clinton Foundation donations to any official action taken by Clinton's State Department. Furthermore, reports from the Washington Post Fact Checker and PolitiFact have debunked the quid pro quo claims.
