A key informant on a Russian bribery operation around a deal to obtain U.S. uranium was allegedly prevented from testifying under the Obama administration, under threats of prosecution. As news emerges that the Clintons may have profited from the Russian deal, the Senate Judiciary Committee is now calling on this witness to testify.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) requested the testimony in a series of letters on Oct. 18, which he sent to 10 federal agencies. He asked that the witness who is currently barred from speaking by the FBI be allowed to testify before Congress.
