According to Campbell's testimony, Moscow hired the lobbying company APCO Worldwide and paid it $3 million a year in fees for lobbying services. Part of these funds was supposed to go to the Bill Clinton Foundation.
“The contract implied payments in the amount of $750 thousand per year. APCO was supposed to provide free support to the Clinton Global Initiative as part of an effort to create an enabling environment to persuade the Obama administration to take positive decisions on everything from Uranium One to the nuclear cooperation agreement with Russia,” the publication quotes the whistleblower as saying.
Representatives of APCO told the publication that their cooperation with Russia and payments to the Clinton Foundation are in no way connected, and these issues were dealt with by different divisions of the company. The company also emphasized that the cooperation agreement with Moscow did not include lobbying for the Uranium One deal.

In 2010, the Barack Obama administration approved a deal for the Russian company Rosatom to purchase Canadian Uranium One. Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State under Obama. A serious outbreak has broken out in the United States scandal, related to the fact that Clinton not only allowed a deal in which Uranium One, a large producer of uranium for the American nuclear energy industry, actually came under the control of the Russian government, but also received suspicious amounts of money associated with the management of this company. President Donald Trump previously claimed, that because of this decision, the United States “gave 20% of its uranium to Russia.”
