According to Politico, Peter Schweizer says that Hillary Clinton changed her position on the agreement after Indian business and government interests flooded various Clinton enterprises with cash.

In 2005, with U.S.-India relations improving under President Bush, Indian interests began pushing to have the ban lifted. According to Schweizer, when legislation was proposed to make this happen, Sen. Hillary Clinton supported an amendment proposed by Sen. Russ Feingold that asked for Indian assurances that American nuclear fuel would not be used to increase fissile material production in unsafeguarded nuclear facilities. Schweizer says this amendment would have gutted the bill.
Around this time, according to Schweizer, a number of Indian interests poured money into the Clinton Foundation. In the end, Clinton supported the nuclear deal.
One of those involved in the process was Sant Chatwal, a New York hotelier. Chatwal, who reportedly helped arrange a $450,000 speech for Bill Clinton, says:
Even my close friend Hillary Clinton was not in favor of the deal [in 2006]
But when I put the whole package together, she also came on board.
In politics nothing comes free. You have to write cheques in the American political system.
