Republicans had heavily hinted that [William] Campbell would be able to provide testimony linking a speech payment to former PresidentBill Clintonto the approval of the Uranium One deal by a nine-agency review board known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The deal was approved unanimously.


“You do have the quid, you have the quo. This informant, I believe, would be able to link those two together,” Rep.Ron DeSantis(R-Fla.) said on Fox News in October.

During the interview, Democratic staff say, Campbell was unable to point to anything to support his claims that the review process had been improperly influenced “other than the fact that the [Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)] allowed the deal to go through.”

“When asked whether he had any evidence that Russian influence on the Clintons affected CFIUS’s review of the Uranium One deal, Mr. Campbell stated that ‘that was outside my pay grade’ and that the topic was ‘not my bailiwick,’ ” according to Democrats.
