So, this happened:
At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.
Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

I'm sure those 30,000 e-mails that were deleted from Hillary's private e-mail server (while they were under subpoena) really were just about yoga classes and wedding plans though...
Oh, and also this:
Hillary Clinton's family's charities are refiling at least five annual tax returns after a Reuters review found errors* in how they reported donations from governments, and said they may audit other Clinton Foundation returns in case of other errors.

*: "Errors" = Reporting zero donations from foreign governments since 2010 while actually receiving "tens of millions of dollars"**.
**: "Tens of millions of dollars" = $122.5M in 2009.
