Mitt Romney: "There's Every Appearance That Hillary Clinton Was Bribed"

Mitt Romney directly accuses Hillary Clinton of accepting bribes from Clinton Foundation donors.

“You know, I’ve got to tell you, I was stunned by it. I mean, it looks like bribery,” he said while appearing on the Hugh Hewitt Show. “I mean, there is every appearance that Hillary Clinton was bribed to grease the sale of, what, 20 percent of America’s uranium production to Russia, and then, it was covered up by lying about a meeting at her home with the principals, and by erasing emails.”

“And you know, I presume we might know for sure whether there was or was not bribery if she hadn’t wiped out thousands of emails. But this is a very, very serious series of facts, and it looks like bribery,” he added.

Mittens was referring to a Thursday New York Times story that alleged that investors in a uranium company donated to the Clinton Foundation before an inter-agency committee including Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the sale of the company to the Russian nuclear agency.

It's important to note that the committee is led by the Treasury Department, not the State Department where Clinton worked.

Clinton's presidential campaign and her allies have pushed back against the allegations, saying there is no evidence to suggest a link between the donations and the approval.

“The decision to approve the sale of uranium never rose to Secretary Clinton’s level and was approved by at least half a dozen government agencies," said Adrienne Watson, communications director for Correct the Record, a project of the pro-Clinton group American Bridge. "Mitt Romney should take a cue from Hillary Clinton and start talking about the real problems facing people across our country.”
