Summary

Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old DOGE staffer recently promoted to a senior adviser role in the State Department, is reportedly the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov.

Martynov was executed in the Soviet Union after being exposed as an FBI informant. Coristine, an alleged former cybercriminal, previously worked in the General Services Administration and now has potential access to sensitive diplomatic data.

Concerns have been raised over his background and apparent lack of a security check.

The situation fuels fears about foreign influence in U.S. government operations.

    What kind of “nuanced” concerntroll is this? No sane person would say shit if the kid was a political moderate but since he’s a fascist swine AND alleged grandson of a secret police officer, 100% I am going to use it against him.

      The kid would be a fascist swine dipshit if he was from Alabama and his family was from New York and his grandad was from Mississippi.

      Actions are what make someone a fascist, not their family linage.
