House Democrats are investigating the uranium mining company Energy Fuels for alleged insider trading.
The investigation centers on whether Energy Fuels executives received privileged information about Trump’s planned slashing of Bears Ears National Monument before the news became public, and if they used that information to purchase stock in their own business. The company said in a statement provided to KNAU that it "strongly rejects any suggestion that the Company or its executives engaged in any improper conduct.”
