Clinton Foundation donor can't explain role in Russian uranium deal

A major Clinton Foundation donor who stood to profit immensely from the highly scrutinized takeover of Uranium One by the Russian government struggled to explain his involvement with the charity under questioning Tuesday.

Frank Holmes, one of several investors cited in a New York Times article about the deal, attempted to dismiss allegations that he had donated to the Clinton Foundation in an effort to secure Hillary Clinton’s approval for the 2010 transaction during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
