FALLOUT ON RADIOACTIVE BUBBA

Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday insisted that a story suggesting that her husband used his connections to help a wealthy businessman get a Kazakhstan uranium-tapping contract was “inaccurate.”

It was her first extensive comments since The New York Times reported last week on the deal that Frank Giustra got a few days after traveling to Kazakhstan with Bill Clinton and meeting President Bursultan Nazarbayev. A few months after receiving the contract, Giustra donated more than $30 million to Bill Clinton’s philanthropic foundation.

The Post reported that watchdog groups had criticized the secrecy surrounding the arrangement.

Sen. Clinton told “Fox News Sunday” that the Times’ story was “an inaccurate description of what actually occurred.”
