Hillary Clinton’s 2016 White House campaign took several major hits in the press Thursday morning, as reports surfaced about damaging new links between the Clinton Foundation and Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.
Many of these revelations are from Peter Schweizer’s new book “Clinton Cash,” but other details were fleshed out further by other reporters.

Here’s a round up of the top six things to take away from Thursday morning’s rush of news:
1) The Clintons Failed to Report Millions of Dollars in Contributions From a Uranium Company Linked to Russia
The New York Times reported early Thursday morning that while Clinton was secretary of state, a Russian energy company called Rosatom was working to take over a Canadian company, Uranium One, that had stakes to uranium around the world, including some in America.
“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,” the Times wrote. “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,” the Times added.
The Times noted the Obama administration was making promises that it would be no problem selling the uranium stakes to Russia. Additionally, Bill Clinton was then paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow, which was paid by “a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.”
