Clinton, Comey, Uranium One: Who Is John W. Huber?

Widespread head-scratching has followed Attorney General Jeff Sessions' recent disclosure that U.S. Attorney John W. Huber is leading an investigation into 2016 election controversies.

In a March 29 letter to Republican committee chairmen, Mr. Sessions said that Mr. Huber, the U. S. Attorney for Utah, had been appointed to "Evaluate certain issues" raised by the GOP. He did not say which issues, but there are plenty.

Mr. Huber has an important backer in Utah's senior senator, Orrin Hatch.

The Rosetta Stone for understanding Utah's corruption problems may be the sprawling saga of John Swallow and Mark Shurtleff, two former Utah attorneys general charged with a multitude of corruption charges.

Mr. Huber seems like a decent man, but his tenure at the top of Utah law enforcement has been short and undistinguished.

One part of Mr. Huber's mandate, as outlined in the GOP letter, is the "Purchase of Uranium One by the company Rosatom, whether the approval of the sale was connected to any donations to the Clinton Foundation, and what role Secretary Clinton played in the approval of the sale."

Uranium One's assets included significant holdings in Utah and nearby states.
