Artem Klyushin is one of the most devious and successful Russian agents openly operating in the US. He has been deeply involved in helping Trump and the authors of Project 2025. One writer, Anthony Andrews has been posting a lot about what he's doing, but the threads aren't gaining traction. Looks like Roger Sollenberger has picked up the story.
I think Artem Klushin's role in all this is one of the most underreported stories of the whole Trump debacle.

Doesnt matter which party they will affect, Im not sure what can be done about it.

I knew there was more to it than just Musk.
