Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal

The headline on the website Pravda trumpeted President Vladimir 
V. Putin𠏋 latest coup, its nationalistic fervor recalling an 
era when its precursor served as the official mouthpiece of the 
Kremlin: 𣫮ussian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.�

The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic 
energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with 
uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the 
American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world𠏋 largest 
uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of 
controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.

But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not 
just the Russian president, but also a former American president 
and a woman who would like to be the next one.

At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the 
Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the 
charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his 
family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually 
sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as 
Uranium One.

Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in 
the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of 
all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since 
uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for 
national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee 
composed of representatives from a number of United States 
government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed 
off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton𠏋 wife, 
Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in 
three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records 
show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. 
Uranium One𠏋 chairman used his family foundation to make four 
donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not 
publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. 
Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly 
identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made 
donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to 
acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received 
$500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with 
links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.

At the time, both Rosatom and the United States government made 
promises intended to ease concerns about ceding control of the 
company𠏋 assets to the Russians. Those promises have been 
repeatedly broken, records show.

The New York Times𠏋 examination of the Uranium One deal is 
based on dozens of interviews, as well as a review of public 
records and securities filings in Canada, Russia and the United 
States. Some of the connections between Uranium One and the 
Clinton Foundation were unearthed by Peter Schweizer, a former 
fellow at the right-leaning Hoover Institution and author of the 
forthcoming book 鏠linton Cash.�Mr. Schweizer provided a 
preview of material in the book to The Times, which scrutinized 
his information and built upon it with its own reporting.

Whether the donations played any role in the approval of the 
uranium deal is unknown. But the episode underscores the special 
ethical challenges presented by the Clinton Foundation, headed 
by a former president who relied heavily on foreign cash to 
accumulate $250 million in assets even as his wife helped steer 
American foreign policy as secretary of state, presiding over 
decisions with the potential to benefit the foundation𠏋 donors.

In a statement, Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton𠏋 
presidential campaign, said no one 蘔as ever produced a shred of 
evidence supporting the theory that Hillary Clinton ever took 
action as secretary of state to support the interests of donors 
to the Clinton Foundation.�He emphasized that multiple United 
States agencies, as well as the Canadian government, had signed 
off on the deal and that, in general, such matters were handled 
at a level below the secretary. 孏o suggest the State 
Department, under then-Secretary Clinton, exerted undue 
influence in the U.S. government𠏋 review of the sale of Uranium 
One is utterly baseless,�he added.

American political campaigns are barred from accepting foreign 
donations. But foreigners may give to foundations in the United 
States. In the days since Mrs. Clinton announced her candidacy 
for president, the Clinton Foundation has announced changes 
meant to quell longstanding concerns about potential conflicts 
of interest in such donations; it has limited donations from 
foreign governments, with many, like Russia𠏋, barred from 
giving to all but its health care initiatives. That policy stops 
short of a more stringent agreement between Mrs. Clinton and the 
Obama administration that was in effect while she was secretary 
of state.

Either way, the Uranium One deal highlights the limits of such 
prohibitions. The foundation will continue to accept 
contributions from foreign sources whose interests, like Uranium 
One𠏋, may overlap with those of foreign governments, some of 
which may be at odds with the United States.

When the Uranium One deal was approved, the geopolitical 
backdrop was far different from today𠏋. The Obama 
administration was seeking to 𩂈eset�strained relations with 
Russia. The deal was strategically important to Mr. Putin, who 
shortly after the Americans gave their blessing sat down for a 
staged interview with Rosatom𠏋 chief executive, Sergei 
Kiriyenko. 焅ew could have imagined in the past that we would 
own 20 percent of U.S. reserves,�Mr. Kiriyenko told Mr. Putin.

donations-uranium-investors-1429749669022-master495-v3.png

Now, after Russia𠏋 annexation of Crimea and aggression in 
Ukraine, the Moscow-Washington relationship is devolving toward 
Cold War levels, a point several experts made in evaluating a 
deal so beneficial to Mr. Putin, a man known to use energy 
resources to project power around the world.

廍hould we be concerned? Absolutely,�said Michael McFaul, who 
served under Mrs. Clinton as the American ambassador to Russia 
but said he had been unaware of the Uranium One deal until asked 
about it. 璌o we want Putin to have a monopoly on this? Of 
course we don㦙. We don㦙 want to be dependent on Putin for 
anything in this climate.�

A Seat at the Table

The path to a Russian acquisition of American uranium deposits 
began in 2005 in Kazakhstan, where the Canadian mining financier 
Frank Giustra orchestrated his first big uranium deal, with Mr. 
Clinton at his side.

The two men had flown aboard Mr. Giustra𠏋 private jet to 
Almaty, Kazakhstan, where they dined with the authoritarian 
president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev. Mr. Clinton handed the 
Kazakh president a propaganda coup when he expressed support for 
Mr. Nazarbayev𠏋 bid to head an international elections 
monitoring group, undercutting American foreign policy and 
criticism of Kazakhstan𠏋 poor human rights record by, among 
others, his wife, then a senator.

Within days of the visit, Mr. Giustra𠏋 fledgling company, 
UrAsia Energy Ltd., signed a preliminary deal giving it stakes 
in three uranium mines controlled by the state-run uranium 
agency Kazatomprom.

If the Kazakh deal was a major victory, UrAsia did not wait long 
before resuming the hunt. In 2007, it merged with Uranium One, a 
South African company with assets in Africa and Australia, in 
what was described as a $3.5 billion transaction. The new 
company, which kept the Uranium One name, was controlled by 
UrAsia investors including Ian Telfer, a Canadian who became 
chairman. Through a spokeswoman, Mr. Giustra, whose personal 
stake in the deal was estimated at about $45 million, said he 
sold his stake in 2007.

Soon, Uranium One began to snap up companies with assets in the 
United States. In April 2007, it announced the purchase of a 
uranium mill in Utah and more than 38,000 acres of uranium 
exploration properties in four Western states, followed quickly 
by the acquisition of the Energy Metals Corporation and its 
uranium holdings in Wyoming, Texas and Utah. That deal made 
clear that Uranium One was intent on becoming 弌 powerhouse in 
the United States uranium sector with the potential to become 
the domestic supplier of choice for U.S. utilities,�the company 
declared.

Still, the company𠏋 story was hardly front-page news in the 
United States �until early 2008, in the midst of Mrs. Clinton𠏋 
failed presidential campaign, when The Times published an 
article revealing the 2005 trip𠏋 link to Mr. Giustra𠏋 
Kazakhstan mining deal. It also reported that several months 
later, Mr. Giustra had donated $31.3 million to Mr. Clinton𠏋 
foundation.

(In a statement issued after this article appeared online, Mr. 
Giustra said he was 婫xtremely proud�of his charitable work 
with Mr. Clinton, and he urged the media to focus on poverty, 
health care and 懀he real challenges of the world.�

Though the 2008 article quoted the former head of Kazatomprom, 
Moukhtar Dzhakishev, as saying that the deal required government 
approval and was discussed at a dinner with the president, Mr. 
Giustra insisted that it was a private transaction, with no need 
for Mr. Clinton𠏋 influence with Kazakh officials. He described 
his relationship with Mr. Clinton as motivated solely by a 
shared interest in philanthropy.

As if to underscore the point, five months later Mr. Giustra 
held a fund-raiser for the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth 
Initiative, a project aimed at fostering progressive 
environmental and labor practices in the natural resources 
industry, to which he had pledged $100 million. The star-studded 
gala, at a conference center in Toronto, featured performances 
by Elton John and Shakira and celebrities like Tom Cruise, John 
Travolta and Robin Williams encouraging contributions from the 
many so-called F.O.F.s �Friends of Frank �in attendance, among 
them Mr. Telfer. In all, the evening generated $16 million in 
pledges, according to an article in The Globe and Mail.

幞one of this would have been possible if Frank Giustra didn㦙 
have a remarkable combination of caring and modesty, of vision 
and energy and iron determination,�Mr. Clinton told those 
gathered, adding: 𨧻 love this guy, and you should, too.�

But what had been a string of successes was about to hit a speed 
bump.

Arrest and Progress

By June 2009, a little over a year after the star-studded 
evening in Toronto, Uranium One𠏋 stock was in free-fall, down 
40 percent. Mr. Dzhakishev, the head of Kazatomprom, had just 
been arrested on charges that he illegally sold uranium deposits 
to foreign companies, including at least some of those won by 
Mr. Giustra𠏋 UrAsia and now owned by Uranium One.

Publicly, the company tried to reassure shareholders. Its chief 
executive, Jean Nortier, issued a confident statement calling 
the situation a 𡤧omplete misunderstanding.�He also 
contradicted Mr. Giustra𠏋 contention that the uranium deal had 
not required government blessing. 㜁hen you do a transaction in 
Kazakhstan, you need the government𠏋 approval,�he said, adding 
that UrAsia had indeed received that approval.

But privately, Uranium One officials were worried they could 
lose their joint mining ventures. American diplomatic cables 
made public by WikiLeaks also reflect concerns that Mr. 
Dzhakishev𠏋 arrest was part of a Russian power play for control 
of Kazakh uranium assets.

At the time, Russia was already eying a stake in Uranium One, 
Rosatom company documents show. Rosatom officials say they were 
seeking to acquire mines around the world because Russia lacks 
sufficient domestic reserves to meet its own industry needs.

It was against this backdrop that the Vancouver-based Uranium 
One pressed the American Embassy in Kazakhstan, as well as 
Canadian diplomats, to take up its cause with Kazakh officials, 
according to the American cables.

㜁e want more than a statement to the press,�Paul Clarke, a 
Uranium One executive vice president, told the embassy𠏋 energy 
officer on June 10, the officer reported in a cable. 孏hat is 
simply chitchat.�What the company needed, Mr. Clarke said, was 
official written confirmation that the licenses were valid.

The American Embassy ultimately reported to the secretary of 
state, Mrs. Clinton. Though the Clarke cable was copied to her, 
it was given wide circulation, and it is unclear if she would 
have read it; the Clinton campaign did not address questions 
about the cable.

What is clear is that the embassy acted, with the cables showing 
that the energy officer met with Kazakh officials to discuss the 
issue on June 10 and 11.

Three days later, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosatom completed 
a deal for 17 percent of Uranium One. And within a year, the 
Russian government substantially upped the ante, with a generous 
offer to shareholders that would give it a 51 percent 
controlling stake. But first, Uranium One had to get the 
American government to sign off on the deal.

The Power to Say No

When a company controlled by the Chinese government sought a 51 
percent stake in a tiny Nevada gold mining operation in 2009, it 
set off a secretive review process in Washington, where 
officials raised concerns primarily about the mine𠏋 proximity 
to a military installation, but also about the potential for 
minerals at the site, including uranium, to come under Chinese 
control. The officials killed the deal.

Such is the power of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the 
United States. The committee comprises some of the most powerful 
members of the cabinet, including the attorney general, the 
secretaries of the Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security, 
Commerce and Energy, and the secretary of state. They are 
charged with reviewing any deal that could result in foreign 
control of an American business or asset deemed important to 
national security.

The national security issue at stake in the Uranium One deal was 
not primarily about nuclear weapons proliferation; the United 
States and Russia had for years cooperated on that front, with 
Russia sending enriched fuel from decommissioned warheads to be 
used in American nuclear power plants in return for raw uranium.

Instead, it concerned American dependence on foreign uranium 
sources. While the United States gets one-fifth of its 
electrical power from nuclear plants, it produces only around 20 
percent of the uranium it needs, and most plants have only 18 to 
36 months of reserves, according to Marin Katusa, author of 孏he 
Colder War: How the Global Energy Trade Slipped From America𠏋 
Grasp.�

孏he Russians are easily winning the uranium war, and nobody𠏋 
talking about it,�said Mr. Katusa, who explores the 
implications of the Uranium One deal in his book. 𨧻t𠏋 not just 
a domestic issue but a foreign policy issue, too.�

When ARMZ, an arm of Rosatom, took its first 17 percent stake in 
Uranium One in 2009, the two parties signed an agreement, found 
in securities filings, to seek the foreign investment 
committee𠏋 review. But it was the 2010 deal, giving the 
Russians a controlling 51 percent stake, that set off alarm 
bells. Four members of the House of Representatives signed a 
letter expressing concern. Two more began pushing legislation to 
kill the deal.

Senator John Barrasso, a Republican from Wyoming, where Uranium 
One𠏋 largest American operation was, wrote to President Obama, 
saying the deal 𢘛ould give the Russian government control over 
a sizable portion of America𠏋 uranium production capacity.�

𡌃qually alarming,�Mr. Barrasso added, 懀his sale gives ARMZ a 
significant stake in uranium mines in Kazakhstan.�

Uranium One𠏋 shareholders were also alarmed, and were 弌fraid 
of Rosatom as a Russian state giant,�Sergei Novikov, a company 
spokesman, recalled in an interview. He said Rosatom𠏋 chief, 
Mr. Kiriyenko, sought to reassure Uranium One investors, 
promising that Rosatom would not break up the company and would 
keep the same management, including Mr. Telfer, the chairman. 
Another Rosatom official said publicly that it did not intend to 
increase its investment beyond 51 percent, and that it 
envisioned keeping Uranium One a public company

American nuclear officials, too, seemed eager to assuage fears. 
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission wrote to Mr. Barrasso assuring 
him that American uranium would be preserved for domestic use, 
regardless of who owned it.

𨧻n order to export uranium from the United States, Uranium One 
Inc. or ARMZ would need to apply for and obtain a specific NRC 
license authorizing the export of uranium for use as reactor 
fuel,�the letter said.

Still, the ultimate authority to approve or reject the Russian 
acquisition rested with the cabinet officials on the foreign 
investment committee, including Mrs. Clinton �whose husband was 
collecting millions in donations from people associated with 
Uranium One.

Undisclosed Donations

Before Mrs. Clinton could assume her post as secretary of state, 
the White House demanded that she sign a memorandum of 
understanding placing limits on the activities of her husband𠏋 
foundation. To avoid the perception of conflicts of interest, 
beyond the ban on foreign government donations, the foundation 
was required to publicly disclose all contributors.

To judge from those disclosures �which list the contributions 
in ranges rather than precise amounts �the only Uranium One 
official to give to the Clinton Foundation was Mr. Telfer, the 
chairman, and the amount was relatively small: no more than 
$250,000, and that was in 2007, before talk of a Rosatom deal 
began percolating.

But a review of tax records in Canada, where Mr. Telfer has a 
family charity called the Fernwood Foundation, shows that he 
donated millions of dollars more, during and after the critical 
time when the foreign investment committee was reviewing his 
deal with the Russians. With the Russians offering a special 
dividend, shareholders like Mr. Telfer stood to profit.

His donations through the Fernwood Foundation included $1 
million reported in 2009, the year his company appealed to the 
American Embassy to help it keep its mines in Kazakhstan; 
$250,000 in 2010, the year the Russians sought majority control; 
as well as $600,000 in 2011 and $500,000 in 2012. Mr. Telfer 
said that his donations had nothing to do with his business 
dealings, and that he had never discussed Uranium One with Mr. 
or Mrs. Clinton. He said he had given the money because he 
wanted to support Mr. Giustra𠏋 charitable endeavors with Mr. 
Clinton. 焅rank and I have been friends and business partners 
for almost 20 years,�he said.

The Clinton campaign left it to the foundation to reply to 
questions about the Fernwood donations; the foundation did not 
provide a response.

Mr. Telfer𠏋 undisclosed donations came in addition to between 
$1.3 million and $5.6 million in contributions, which were 
reported, from a constellation of people with ties to Uranium 
One or UrAsia, the company that originally acquired Uranium 
One𠏋 most valuable asset: the Kazakh mines. Without those 
assets, the Russians would have had no interest in the deal: 𨧻t 
wasn㦙 the goal to buy the Wyoming mines. The goal was to 
acquire the Kazakh assets, which are very good,�Mr. Novikov, 
the Rosatom spokesman, said in an interview.

Amid this influx of Uranium One-connected money, Mr. Clinton was 
invited to speak in Moscow in June 2010, the same month Rosatom 
struck its deal for a majority stake in Uranium One.

The $500,000 fee �among Mr. Clinton𠏋 highest �was paid by 
Renaissance Capital, a Russian investment bank with ties to the 
Kremlin that has invited world leaders, including Tony Blair, 
the former British prime minister, to speak at its investor 
conferences.

Renaissance Capital analysts talked up Uranium One𠏋 stock, 
assigning it a 弎uy�rating and saying in a July 2010 research 
report that it was 懀he best play�in the uranium markets. In 
addition, Renaissance Capital turned up that same year as a 
major donor, along with Mr. Giustra and several companies linked 
to Uranium One or UrAsia, to a small medical charity in Colorado 
run by a friend of Mr. Giustra𠏋. In a newsletter to supporters, 
the friend credited Mr. Giustra with helping get donations from 
弎usinesses around the world.�

Renaissance Capital would not comment on the genesis of Mr. 
Clinton𠏋 speech to an audience that included leading Russian 
officials, or on whether it was connected to the Rosatom deal. 
According to a Russian government news service, Mr. Putin 
personally thanked Mr. Clinton for speaking.

A person with knowledge of the Clinton Foundation𠏋 fund-raising 
operation, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about it, 
said that for many people, the hope is that money will in fact 
buy influence: 㜁hy do you think they are doing it �because 
they love them?�But whether it actually does is another 
question. And in this case, there were broader geopolitical 
pressures that likely came into play as the United States 
considered whether to approve the Rosatom-Uranium One deal.

Diplomatic Considerations

If doing business with Rosatom was good for those in the Uranium 
One deal, engaging with Russia was also a priority of the 
incoming Obama administration, which was hoping for a new era of 
cooperation as Mr. Putin relinquished the presidency �if only 
for a term �to Dmitri A. Medvedev.

孏he assumption was we could engage Russia to further core U.S. 
national security interests,�said Mr. McFaul, the former 
ambassador.

It started out well. The two countries made progress on nuclear 
proliferation issues, and expanded use of Russian territory to 
resupply American forces in Afghanistan. Keeping Iran from 
obtaining a nuclear weapon was among the United States�top 
priorities, and in June 2010 Russia signed off on a United 
Nations resolution imposing tough new sanctions on that country.

Two months later, the deal giving ARMZ a controlling stake in 
Uranium One was submitted to the Committee on Foreign Investment 
in the United States for review. Because of the secrecy 
surrounding the process, it is hard to know whether the 
participants weighed the desire to improve bilateral relations 
against the potential risks of allowing the Russian government 
control over the biggest uranium producer in the United States. 
The deal was ultimately approved in October, following what two 
people involved in securing the approval said had been a 
relatively smooth process.

Not all of the committee𠏋 decisions are personally debated by 
the agency heads themselves; in less controversial cases, deputy 
or assistant secretaries may sign off. But experts and former 
committee members say Russia𠏋 interest in Uranium One and its 
American uranium reserves seemed to warrant attention at the 
highest levels.

孏his deal had generated press, it had captured the attention of 
Congress and it was strategically important,�said Richard 
Russell, who served on the committee during the George W. Bush 
administration. 㜁hen I was there invariably any one of those 
conditions would cause this to get pushed way up the chain, and 
here you had all three.�

And Mrs. Clinton brought a reputation for hawkishness to the 
process; as a senator, she was a vocal critic of the committee𠏋 
approval of a deal that would have transferred the management of 
major American seaports to a company based in the United Arab 
Emirates, and as a presidential candidate she had advocated 
legislation to strengthen the process.

The Clinton campaign spokesman, Mr. Fallon, said that in 
general, these matters did not rise to the secretary𠏋 level. He 
would not comment on whether Mrs. Clinton had been briefed on 
the matter, but he gave The Times a statement from the former 
assistant secretary assigned to the foreign investment committee 
at the time, Jose Fernandez. While not addressing the specifics 
of the Uranium One deal, Mr. Fernandez said, 岞rs. Clinton never 
intervened with me on any C.F.I.U.S. matter.�

Mr. Fallon also noted that if any agency had raised national 
security concerns about the Uranium One deal, it could have 
taken them directly to the president.

Anne-Marie Slaughter, the State Department𠏋 director of policy 
planning at the time, said she was unaware of the transaction �
or the extent to which it made Russia a dominant uranium 
supplier. But speaking generally, she urged caution in 
evaluating its wisdom in hindsight.

𣫮ussia was not a country we took lightly at the time or thought 
was cuddly,�she said. 𠐓ut it wasn㦙 the adversary it is today.�

That renewed adversarial relationship has raised concerns about 
European dependency on Russian energy resources, including 
nuclear fuel. The unease reaches beyond diplomatic circles. In 
Wyoming, where Uranium One equipment is scattered across his 
35,000-acre ranch, John Christensen is frustrated that repeated 
changes in corporate ownership over the years led to French, 
South African, Canadian and, finally, Russian control over 
mining rights on his property.

𨧻 hate to see a foreign government own mining rights here in 
the United States,�he said. 𨧻 don㦙 think that should happen.�

Mr. Christensen, 65, noted that despite assurances by the 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission that uranium could not leave the 
country without Uranium One or ARMZ obtaining an export license 
�which they do not have �yellowcake from his property was 
routinely packed into drums and trucked off to a processing 
plant in Canada.

Asked about that, the commission confirmed that Uranium One has, 
in fact, shipped yellowcake to Canada even though it does not 
have an export license. Instead, the transport company doing the 
shipping, RSB Logistic Services, has the license. A commission 
spokesman said that 懀o the best of our knowledge�most of the 
uranium sent to Canada for processing was returned for use in 
the United States. A Uranium One spokeswoman, Donna Wichers, 
said 25 percent had gone to Western Europe and Japan. At the 
moment, with the uranium market in a downturn, nothing is being 
shipped from the Wyoming mines.

The 忛o export�assurance given at the time of the Rosatom deal 
is not the only one that turned out to be less than it seemed. 
Despite pledges to the contrary, Uranium One was delisted from 
the Toronto Stock Exchange and taken private. As of 2013, 
Rosatom𠏋 subsidiary, ARMZ, owned 100 percent of it.
