The Justice Department is reviving an inquiry into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the government’s controversial approval of the Uranium One deal, NBC News reported on Thursday. A now-dormant FBI investigation into whether Clinton had ties to the deal has not found evidence of wrongdoing. Before the sale could go through, it needed approval from nine U.S. agencies, including the State Department. Sessions pledged during his confirmation hearing last year that he would recuse himself from any possible investigations involving Clinton. The Uranium One obsession among Trump and his allies has increased in recent months as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe intensifies into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.
