This week, a report from the House Oversight Committee revealed that officials in the Trump administration pursued a plan to export nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia in order to build nuclear power plants.
The report from House Democrats says the deal gained momentum during President Trump’s first days in office with help from then-national security adviser Michael Flynn. The efforts continued, despite warnings from ethics officials and staff at the National Security Council.
Behind the proposal was IP3, a company of former US generals that could benefit financially if the plan moved forward.
This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman talks with Isaac Arnsdorf, a reporter at ProPublica, who's been following the story for more than a year about where the plan stands today and what it could mean for Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.
