Millions of dollars flowed into bill Clintons Foundation from russian interests just as Hillary Clintons state department was signing off on a Critical Nuclear deal with russia. Short, if you pay bill you can get to hillary. Blake berman leads off our coverage tonight from washington. Hi there blake. Hi, lori. New york times article reports that while Hillary Clinton was the countrys top diplomat the state department and other u. S. Government agencies approved a deal that gave the russian government control of 1 5 of all uranium Production Capacity here in the United States. Now at the same time, the chairman of the company that sold the uranium production interests to the russians used his Family Foundation to make contributions to the Clinton Foundation totaling 2. 35 million. A Clinton Campaign spokesperson fired back at the suggestion today that the state department was linked to multimilliondollar payment saying quote, no one has produced a shred of evidence that Hillary Clinton ever took action asking secretary of state in order to support the interests of donors to the Clinton Foundation. White house also came to clintons defense today. Listen here. The administration continues to have strong confidence in the decisionmaking of secretary clinton. She was somebody who served this country and this president extraordinarily well as secretary of state. A state Department Spokesperson brushed off the accusations earlier today saying it is not surprising allegations have arose as clinton has entered the president ial race. Lori. Lori so blake the Administration May be downplaying this but were there any serious concerns raised at the time . Well, senator john barasso was one of them. He voiced concerns about this uranium deal in december of 2010. We obtained a letter he sent to president obama then in which he said, and im quoting here. As you know russia has a disturbing record of supporting Nuclear Programs in countries that are openly hostile to the United States. He went on in that letter to say this record is at great odds with our own national security. Barrasso said at the time he had strong concerns about that impending sale. Lori what is going on over at the Clinton Foundation . Being affected by any of this . Earlier today Chelsea Clinton was asked about the growing controversy. She highlighted changes the foundation announced last week, specifically not accepting money from new foreign governments and reporting quarterly, not annually but, lori, it might not end there. Reuters is reporting that the Clinton Foundation will refile at least five annual tax returns due to errors. Among the errors, according to that report, are three consecutive years when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state in which the foundation reported having received no funds from foreign governments. Lori blake. Clinton scandal de jure. A lot going on there. Lori blake berman. Lets get a little more reaction with former senator scott brown from massachusetts, now Fox News Contributor and fred barnes, executive editor of the weekly standard. Gentlemen, great to have you both of you. Senator brown your thoughts to these latest revelations regarding Hillary Clinton clint. What youre seeing now is the intersection of money and politics. As a public official and public figure the Clinton Foundation Hillary Clinton and bill clinton, are going to have to make full and open disclosures with regard to their financial interests. I can speak firsthand, i released eight years of tax returns and every little thing that i did was scrutinized, criticized, torn apart. And expect the same thing to happen for somebody who is running for president. And with respect to getting 2. 3 some odd Million Dollars from the russian government, why are they paying the Clinton Foundation that amount of money . It is not because they love, you know, the work that theyre doing. So i think you need to follow the money. I have some very serious doubts. I think its a real problem. Lori fred i would like you to pick up on that. The uranium deal, this situation that weve been reporting on, it is Hillary Clinton signing off on the deal just as the canadian owner gave a generous very generous donation to the Clinton Foundation. Do you think this is just the tip of the iceberg now the clintons having to refile their taxes . For one thing, there are many foreign governments have given money and foreign actors an investors and businessmen and so on given money to the Clinton Foundation. We know that russian donation was not disclosed, publicly disclosed as the Obama Administration required hillary to do. And, obviously the foundation didnt do it. Here is, i think this is the question now. Where is hillary . She is not answering any of these questions. You know lori she hasnt answered any question since she announced her candidacy. Media is focused on scoobydoo van and lunch preferences. Exactly. You know why she is not answering questions. She doesnt have a good answer for any of this. She didnt have a good answer on emails and then deleted emails and so on. What has to come next is Hillary Clinton appearing in public answering the questions from the media, about what went on here. And im not expecting it anytime soon. Lori so, with regard to actually, lets step back. This obviously is going to have well has everybody talking. Outside of impact on Hillary Clinton president ial campaign, are there questions, doesnt it, senator brown raise questions about if she improperly used her position as secretary of state . Are there issues of corruption, bribery questions . What do you think about that . Well, those are things that are going to have to be investigated and that will only be done after full and open disclosure by the Clinton Foundation of monies that they actually received from the foreign governments when they came in and then draw the correlation, to have people actually go and look at what the state Department Actions were on particular issues. Now the russian deal, you know, she will have to ask questions, answer questions about that. And are there other situations like that. Here is the problem. There is a couple of things. Number one there is almost a doublestandard, typical clinton doublestandard between what is good or every other american or every other elected public official and clintons. There is a lack of trust right now between the American People and the clintons because as was referenced by the other guest on there, the emails, the deleting of emails. Now we find out they didnt file their taxes properly, but everybody else has to do it right way, but god forbid they do it, now they have to do it only reason theyre doing it is because they got caught. Lori right. So it is doublestandard. They need to step up. Lori so as far as the campaign and implications, do you think that voters, fred, are jaded, as i said . Clinton scandal de jure were talking about all of them. Do you think this could sort of have reverse reaction where voters start to sympathize with clintons . No not this time. I think, if republicans were ganging up on her pounding her unfairly there would be but not on this. Because hillary is obviously in hiding. Clinton strategy, they have a classic strategy. One, they try to drag it out for a long time without answering anything, just drag it out, hope the press will get tired of it and move on to Something Else again. Then they like to demonize their accuser. So i think peter schweizer, the author of this book bull a the donations to the clinton founddation will go after him personally. Go ahead. Lori fred, interesting your strategy mentioning dealing with the questions and how they conduct business and campaign, Chelsea Clinton speaking publicly about the foundation promising continued transparency . Is that game changer in terms of their strategy . Bringing her out. She used to be hands off with the press. The press couldnt go there ever. Does that change things now . She is in lieu of her mother and father. That is why she is there. She can say, well i dont know anything about these contributions to the foundation. And, their legality and whether they were publicly released or not. She can play as if she was not involved in that. Maybe she wasnt, i dont know. But they dont want to put hillary out there because there is not a good answer for this. Lori so all of this has actually had impact on the polls, for hillary and her popularity. She has drop ad few notches. But in the same poll, interesting marco rubio, senator from florida, actually showing some strength. He is at this point the standout republican candidate. What are your thoughts on rubio coming out of this poll ahead that to you senator brown . Well, first of all i met i know marco. I served with him. He is one of the nicest, honest hardworking men i ever met. He was always prepared, very diligent. I got to speak this weekend at gop summit in new hampshire. Listened to him speak. I thought his presentation and his points were very welltaken very wellreceived. I think, you know he is had a flawless rollout so far. The others could learn i think from what he is doing. Drawing the contrasts between the old and the new, i. E. , Hillary Clinton, or potentially jeb bush and him and the new breed of republicans i think is working. So it is early. But, if you look what is happening with secretary clinton, and the lax of disclosure, the intersection of money and politics, the kind of aloofness when it comes to dealing with the average american what theyre going through versus what marco rubio has gone through basically coming from nothing. He hand his family struggling. Now he is a United States senator and leader of our party. Has a very, very bright future. Lori in a way he is biting hand that fed him considering governor jeb bush. Fred youre misinterpreted that. What is shows is that marco rubio is very bold. Lori yeah. Many solve these other senators like ted cruz and rand paul their fall back position, hey i dont win the republican nomination i will be in the senate. Marco rubio, in his quest for the presidency is giving up his senate seat. He would have to be running for reelection in 2016. Very bold step. And he is also won who has a along with senator mike lee of utah, a sweeping tax reform plan that would get rid of the tax on Capital Gains and dividends. Very strong stuff. Yearandahalf to to though. Well see. Thank you very much for insights, gentlemen. Thank you. Lori really great to chat with both of. You thank you, fred. Lori we want to know what you think here. Here is a the question tonight. Will hillarys skeletons keeper her from winning nomination. I will share results at the end of tonights show. Calf up on all the kel tons.

We found out today 2 took over a year to fix the alarm at former president george h. W. Bush. This is latest in series of security blunders and scandals involving secret service. We put together a list to refresh your memory. November of 2009 wannabe reality tv star bluffed their way into the white house and took pictures with president obama. November 2011 excuse me a man fired seven shots at the white house. Now the secret service said no bullets hit the residence but four days later, a housekeeper discovered they had. In 2012, secret Service Agents preparing for a president ial trip to colombia entertained prostitutes in their hotel rooms. Then there was the infamous sign language imposter at the Nelson Mandela funeral who stood right next to president obama. And just a few months ago, the secret Service Allowed a man with criminal record and a gun on an elevator with the president. This month we had postal work other gyrocopter. Youve sign pictures of that. Secret service was alerted months ago about his plan turns out. We have all the white house fence jumpers. Almost too many to count. One even made it inside of the white house with a knife. The secret service at first denied he made it inside the mansions but were forced to change their story. The secret service might have denied this as well if it wasnt caught on tape by fox business camera crew. A white house fence jumper kicking two secret service dogs before being taken down. With us now the chairman of the House Oversight and government reform committee, republican congressman jason chaste fetes of utah. Congressman, great to have you. So 90yearold former president did not have a working alarm in his home for 13 months really . It is stunning. It is hard to believe. These problems with this alarm started in 2010, when it was inoperable more than a year. That is wholly and totally unacceptable. I think the secret service now gets that and understands that but it was fundamentally and totally wrong. Lori are you getting any answers, anymore details as to how this was left to linger for so long, for more than a year . Well, this is not, unfortunately an isolated incident. The secret service is having problems with its technology with various former president s residences. This is the no the only one. Weve known about this more month for months now. Didnt feel free and comfortable to talk about. Given they have rectified it. There is no good excuse. They dont lack budget. The technology is there. They had to add extra personnel to secure the president. There were no breaches fortunately. But should never have that degree of vulnerability. Should never be there. Lori jay johnson, Homeland Security as well as director of secret service acknowledged report and need to upgrade Technology Even from this point. So to your earlier point, are the resources there . Youre confident the resources are there to make the necessary upgrades . Not just for the residences but for the white house itself . They had millions of dollars in backlog that do again think they have rectified at the former president s home. There is a process in place now to retro fight fit the fence around the retrofit the fence around the white house. We intend to get another briefing from the secret service next week. That is shown to be have nearable situation. Secret service is making adjustments to with additional people and additional dogs to make sure nobody gets through. Lori what about different attitude perhaps . Laundry list of infractio
