A confidential informant to the FBI in an investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s role in an Obama administration-era uranium company deal was identified on Thursday as a former lobbyist for a Russian company.
The lobbyist, William Campbell, told Reuters he is the informant who will testify before Congress about the 2010 sale of Uranium One, a Canadian company with uranium assets in the U.S., to the Russian state-owned nuclear giant Rosatom. Campbell provided information and documents to the FBI while undercover inside a U.S. unit of Rosatom in Maryland.
Senate Republicans who launched the investigation into Clinton’s role in the deal had kept the informant’s name secret, and his lawyer had declined to reveal his identity.
