The charges come after reports released in late December revealed that the Justice Department was taking a fresh look at the Uranium One deal that gave a Russian company control of 20 percent of the U.S. uranium industry while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.
Fitton couldn't say for sure if the fresh scrutiny led to the indictment, but added, "It's, I don't think, coincidental, a few months after it's reported about the fact that the Justice Department under Obama was hiding this [Uranium One scandal] in plain sight from the American people, and certainly hiding key information from Congress, and then the Justice Department under Jeff Sessions responds, 'Hey, we're going to take another look at this.'"
He added, "This is about, in the end, what steps they're going to take about what happened with Hillary Clinton."
Mark Lambert is facing 11 counts of money laundering and wire fraud for allegedly bribing a Russian official at a subsidiary of Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corp. in order to win contracts to transport uranium.
The New York Post is reporting that the investigation "grew from charges that the Obama administration covered up an FBI probe of the uranium business."
The indictment, handed up in Maryland, says Lambert tried to conceal the payments with the code words “lucky figures,” “lucky numbers” and “cake.”

Lambert’s aim was to win contracts to ship uranium to the US.
The federal investigation grew from charges that the Obama administration covered up an FBI probe of the uranium business — and thus allowed the Russian firm Tenex to buy a stake in Uranium One, a Canadian company that mines uranium in Wyoming and elsewhere.
