During a private meeting with President Trump, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro reportedly tore into Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his refusal thus far to appoint a special prosecutor to probe former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the Uranium One deal.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that Pirro met with Trump early this month, during which she “excoriated” the attorney general for not investigating Clinton, Trump’s Democratic opponent in the 2016 presidential race.
The report follows weeks of critical coverage on Pirro’s show, “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” and elsewhere on Fox, of the 2016 deal that allowed a Russian nuclear agency to purchase Uranium One, a Canadian company that owns access to uranium in the U.S.
Clinton ran the State Department under former President Obama when the deal was approved by the interagency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
