Donald Trump has launched another attack on Hillary Clinton - questioning why she and Bill Clinton are not under investigation from the House Intelligence Committee.
'Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech...,' the president tweeted on Monday night, before finishing his thought with a second post.
'...money to Bill, the Hillary Russian "reset," praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company. Trump Russia story is a hoax.'
Trump seemed to be referring to a falsehood he often uttered on the campaign trail, where he claimed Clinton, 'gave up 20 per cent of America's uranium supply to Russia'.

'You know what people do with uranium, don’t you? It’s called nuclear. Twenty per cent. They could have never done it without her,' Trump told his people at a Wisconsin rally on September 28.
However, Trump's statement was discredited by a number of fact-checking outlets, including Politifact.
The website reported what was sold to Russia was a number of mines, mills and tracts of land in a number of states - including Utah and Wyoming - that 'equate to about 20 per cent of US uranium production capacity', but not physical uranium.
Trump's suggestion that Clinton's State Department approved the sale in order for the Clinton Foundation to benefit financially was deemed false by the fact checkers, as no evidence of a 'quid pro quo' existed.
