A DOJ letter to the committee Monday said Sessions has directed senior federal prosecutors to “evaluate certain issues” related to Clinton and recommend whether a special counsel should be appointed.
The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee has been under scrutiny over the 2010 Uranium One deal — selling 20 percent of America’s uranium to a Russian conglomerate. It was an agreement approved by the State Department while she was secretary of state and millions of dollars reportedly were pouring into the Clinton Foundation from related Russian interests.
Recent news reports also indicate that a notorious dossier citing Russian sources and purporting to have dirt on Trump was financed by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, then used by the FBI under the Obama administration to obtain warrants to spy on the Trump campaign.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told Sessions yesterday, “What’s it going to take to actually get a special counsel?” He added that “it sure looks like” Democrats financed the Russian dossier to get a FISA warrant on the Trump campaign.
