Todays report reveals new and extensive evidence that corroborates Committee whistleblowers and exposes how corporate and foreign interests are using their unique access to advocate for the transfer of U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. The American people deserve to know the facts about whether the White House is willing to place the potential profits of the Presidents personal friends above the national security of the American people and the universal objective of preventing the spread of nuclear weapons.
The Committees second interim report is based on more than 60,000 pages of new documents produced to the Committee in response to requests that Chairman Cummings made to a host of outside companies about their involvement with plans to transfer U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. The report states:
New documents and communications show that IP3, the private company lobbying the White House to transfer U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia, repeatedly sought a $120 million investment from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. It is unclear if the company ultimately received the investment.
Documents show that IP3 is currently pushing the Trump Administration not to require Saudi Arabia to agree to the Gold Standard, which is a commitment not to use U.S. nuclear technology to make nuclear weapons. Documents show that IP3 officials repeatedly urged White House and Trump Administration officials to abandon the Gold Standard in any future 123 Agreement with Saudi Arabia, complaining that it would lock them out of lucrative nuclear contracts with the Saudis.

All of the bull shit about Uranium One, but when we get a real nuclear controversy it gets covered up.

Oh but Saudi Arabia spends millions of dollars buying space at Trump tower and staying at Trump's DC hotel, which is a violation of the emoluments clause of the constitution, another reason for impeachment by the way.
