Bill Clinton sought State?s permission to meet with Russian nuclear official during Obama uranium decision | TheHill
As he prepared to
collect a $500,000 payday in Moscow in 2010, Bill Clinton sought clearance from the State Department to meet with a key board director of the Russian nuclear energy firm Rosatom — which at the time needed the
Obama administration’s approval for a controversial uranium deal, government records show.
Arkady Dvorkovich, a top aide to then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and one of the highest-ranking government officials to serve on Rosatom’s board of supervisors, was listed on a May 14, 2010, email as one of
15 Russians the former president wanted to meet during a late June 2010 trip, the documents show.
