President Donald Trump repeated an incorrect claim on Thursday that Hillary Clinton gave Russia 20 percent of the United States' uranium while serving as secretary of State.
The fact-checking website PolitiFact has determined that statement, which Trump first made on the campaign trail, is mostly false.

TRUE. She didn’t give it away. She sold it for personal profit for $150 million dollars!!
Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal
It’s not false ...what she gave them was 20% of Uranium production in the US...it’s true, Politifact is using a play on words to say it’s false.
The difference is between production and reserves. HRC gave them 20% of production.
A distinction with no difference in the grand scheme.
“PolitiFact pointed out that 20 percent of uranium capacity is different from 20 percent of existing uranium. Moreover, the State Department was one of nine government agencies that had to sign off on the deals. Other federal and state regulators also had to approve them.”
And we don’t have documentation of bribery for the other eight sign-offs, so the one case where we can see bribery does not count.
As an aside, I wonder how much the uranium deal’s details on rights to explore for domestic uranium impacts the events like Bundy Ranch and the plans to survey near the Grand Canyon?
” .... and the Obama administration was still trying to reset relations with Moscow at the time, ......

Oh and Giustra the Canaduan mining mogul- also set up Hillarys brother Tony Rodham with rights to Haitian gold mining
Never ever let a humanitarian pot of money go to waste
Beat me by that much. Yes, she didn’t give it away, there was a substantial profit. Hillary had invested 35 years of being abused by Willie Jeff and Berrik Osama, so she made a slight profit. Who would begrudge her a profit on her investment?
Politifact “The claim isn’t true. Between 2009 and 2013, Russia’s atomic energy agency, Rosatom, purchased a majority stake in a Canadian company called Uranium One, The New York Times reported in 2015. The Toronto-based firm’s mining assets in Wyoming, Utah and elsewhere in the United States account for about 20 percent of U.S. uranium production capacity, according to the Times.”
So they told us the truth while calling it false!
Once again, President Trump has stated false information in order to play the media into reporting real news instead of fake news. In today’s press conference, President Trump stated, “We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20 percent of the uranium in our country.” Eager to prove him wrong, CNBC corrected President Trump by saying Hillary did not give Russia 20% of US uranium; instead, she gave Russia 20% of US uranium production capacity. Oops.
From CNBC:
President Donald Trump repeated an incorrect claim on Thursday that Hillary Clinton gave Russia 20 percent of the United States’ uranium while serving as secretary of State.
The fact-checking website PolitiFact has determined that statement, which Trump first made on the campaign trail, is mostly false.
“We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20 percent of the uranium in our country. You know what uranium is, right? It’s a thing called nuclear weapons and other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things,” Trump said during a press conference.
The claim isn’t true. Between 2009 and 2013, Russia’s atomic energy agency, Rosatom, purchased a majority stake in a Canadian company called Uranium One, The New York Times reported in 2015. The Toronto-based firm’s mining assets in Wyoming, Utah and elsewhere in the United States account for about 20 percent of U.S. uranium production capacity, according to the Times.

President Trump just masterfully trolled CNBC into revealing some damaging info against Hillary
He gave false information to make the ‘very fake media’ fact check on it, therefore just proved that Hillary gave away 20% of ALL uranium to Russia...
See how that works???
WOW, what a way to respond to being called FAKE NEWS, By Publishing even More FAKE NEWS that is Easily Debunked and Provable FALSE!
PolitiFact is the same thing as Snopes.......both worthless.
It’s actually true, she was in charge when we gave away 20% of our production - they can nit pick, but a fact is a fact.
Alright then, it was 25+%
President Trump should just retweet the failing NY Times story on Hillary’s uranium deal. LOL.
