House Republicans launch investigation into Obama-era deal involving Russia and US uranium assets

.......................Earlier this year, Nunes temporarily stepped aside from the committee's Russia investigation following a House ethics committee investigation into his handling of classified information, although he has continued to issue subpoenas for the probe, a sore spot with Democrats.
The California Republican told reporters Tuesday that the new investigation was separate from the Russia probe into election meddling.
"Well, the current Russia investigation is about the election. This is more about uranium and whether or not government functioned properly or not," Nunes said.
Allegations surrounding the uranium deal resurfaced this past week when The Hill reported the FBI was investigating the donations and did not inform Congress.
"We're not going to jump to any conclusions at this time," Nunes said. "But one of the things that you know that we're concerned about is whether or not there was an FBI investigation. Was there a DOJ investigation? And if so, why was Congress not informed of this matter? So that will be the start of the probe."
Nunes said that he has not spoken to the White House about the matter. The new investigation was being driven, he said, by conversations the committee has had with informants over the past several months.
He also noted there's concern about a whistleblower who signed a non-disclosure agreement. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley sent a letter last week to the Justice Department urging the non-disclosure agreement to be lifted so Congress could speak to the whistleblower.................
