Donald Trump has been screaming about Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the transfer of 20 percent of America’s uranium holdings to Russia. Special counsel's need to be set up to investigate! Hillary should be arrested! why aren't they investigating this? etc etc.
Fox News' Shepard Smith called the statement “inaccurate in a number of ways,” noting that “the Clinton State Department had no power to veto or approve that transaction.” Rather, it must be approved by an interagency committee of the government consisting of nine department heads, including the Secretary of State.
Most of the Clinton Foundation donations in question, he pointed out, came from Frank Giustra, the founder of the uranium company in Canada. But Giustra, Smith noted, “says he sold his stake in the company back in 2007,” three years before the uranium/Russia deal and “a year and a half before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state.
Shepard Smith isn't making himself very popular at Fox News. It seems there a few folks at Fox News don't want to perpetuate a lie, simply for political gain.
Any bets on how much longer Mr. Smith will last at Fox News?
