Basically low grade Uranium sold to a company based in Canada and allegedly that company has ties to Russian government. Deal was approved by multiple federal agencies during the Obama administration and the amount of uranium (10-20%) involved is insignificant. However, the conspiracy by Right Wing media is that someone associated to the Canadian company is a Russian citizen who donated lots of money to the Clinton Foundation; thus, implying the Clintons were paid off so SecState HRC would push the deal through, though there's no proof of that. Conspiracy theorists also trying to connect Mueller who was Director of FBI by claiming he intentionally intervened in any investigations of personnel connected to the company in question. Bottomline, GOP want Mueller fired, special investigation into Russia halted, and for DoJ to initiate special investigations into the Uranium One deal and the Clinton Foundation.
The Clintons like many politicians are dirty but that is no reason to stop the Mueller investigation that has revealed some illegal activities as well. Shep grown some balls past few months. Fox News viewers want his head.

The last 2 lines were 100% factual, the rest, not so much.
The Uranium in question was in mines inside the USA. The Uranium for the most part had not been mined or removed at the time of the sale. The Uranium included yellowcake Uranium that is used in reactors and for weapons. Despite initial reports from the NRC that no licenses would be issued to allow Uranium to be exported, the NRC did allow Uranium to be transferred out of the USA with some of it ending up in Europe.
As for multiple agencies approving the sale, the FBI was conducting an investigation into bribery on the owner of the company. The DOJ was aware of it and had a seat on the committee just like the State Dept. Under the rules, members of the committee could make an objection to a sale and it would be up to the President to decide whether or not to allow it.
