As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, the ''New York Times'' reported, Uranium One's Canadian chairman, Ian Telfer, used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the foundation, the ''Times'' reported, despite Sec. Clinton's Memorandum of Understanding with the Obama administration and [[Senate]] to publicly identify all donors. Others associated with Uranium One also donated to the Clinton Foundation, according to the ''Times''.

The U.S. ambassador to [[Kazakhstan]] raised concerns in cables to Clinton's State Department that Rosatom was acting on behalf of [[GRU|Russia's military intelligence agency]], the GRU, to gobble up uranium mines after Russia felt "squeezed" by having their uranium imports limited by other countries. Sen. [[John Barrasso]] of Wyoming also raised objections to the sale, saying it would "give the Russian government control over a sizable portion of America's uranium production capacity."
Nonetheless, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, known as CFIUS, approved the deal by a unanimous vote, according to public reports. Clinton was a member of the nine member CFIUS by virtue of her role as Secretary of State. The other eight members of CFIUS came from Treasury, [[Homeland Security]], Commerce, Defense, Energy, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Office of Science & Technology, and the Justice Department.
