Chuck Grassley wants informant on Russian uranium scandal released from non-disclosure agreement

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is demanding the Justice Department allow a former confidential informant to the FBI to speak to Congress, even though the informant is still under a non-disclosure agreement.

Media reports indicate the FBI had evidence Russian officials were working bribery, extortion, and money laundering schemes to expand Putin’s atomic energy pursuits inside the U.S., including the partial sale of Uranium One, a Canadian mining company. That information came before the Obama administration approved a 2010 deal that gave Moscow control of significant amounts of America’s uranium supply.
