Dems: Uranium One informant provided 'no evidence' of Clinton 'quid pro quo'

A confidential informant billed by House Republicans as having “explosive†information about the 2010 Uranium One deal approved during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of State provided “no evidence of a quid pro quo†involving Clinton, Democratic staff said in a summary of the informant’s closed-door testimony circulated Thursday.
In February, staff from three panels — the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Intelligence committees — interviewed William Douglas Campbell, a confidential informant to the FBI during its investigation and prosecution of former Russian official Vadim Mikerin.
Mikerin was the head of U.S. operations for Tenex, a unit of the same Russian state-owned nuclear power company, Rosatom, that purchased Uranium One. He was charged with taking bribes from a shipping company in exchange for contracts to transport Russian uranium into the U.S. He eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years in prison in 2015.
