The House Intelligence Committee and the House Oversight Committee will investigate a 2010 deal for mining rights which gave Russia control over one-fifth of U.S. uranium production.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, (R-Calif.), says his committee will examine how and why a Canadian mining company, renamed Uranium One, was sold to Russia’s state-owned nuclear company Rosatom.
