Video: Russia using teens to build military drones: Report
A new report claims that Russia is using teenagers to design, build, and test drones to be used in Russia's war with Ukraine. An investigation by The Insider, which is an exiled Russian news outlet, found that Russian officials use video game competitions to find talented students who are recruited by defense companies to design and test drones. A Russian teenager told The Insider, 'The kids are actively involved in modeling components of systems for various drones. I know of several people at least who were modeling UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] components for major enterprises.' According to The Insider, Russia's recruitment of teenagers begins with a video game that involves 'intelligence bears' defending themselves against bee swarms. The game also involves the use of drones to defend against the bee swarms. The outlet noted that hundreds of thousands of young Russians play the game and that students can receive extra credit points for doing well in the game.

One Russian teenager who was a finalist in the competition told The Insider, 'We were forbidden to say that it was needed for the war, and we invented civilian applications. It's a children's program … A project must always have a dual purpose, especially when you're a school student. It's an unwritten rule I've observed at every competition.' According to The New York Post, Zvedzda, a television channel for the Russian army, recently shared a video of Russian teenagers helping build the country's Geran-2 kamikaze drones at the Yelabuga production plant, which has been described as the 'world's biggest drone factory.' The New York Post reported that the Zvedzda television channel claimed that Russians as young as 14 have been invited to study and work at the Yelabuga factory. The outlet noted that teenagers who work at the Yelabuga factory would have an opportunity to be employed at the drone manufacturing plant after they finish their college education.

Massie says he assumes some of ‘Trump's friends' are in Epstein files
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said he assumes 'at least some of Trump's friends' could be among the many named in the Epstein files, but said authorities may be hesitant to release information that could name those who did nothing wrong. Massie, a co-sponsor of a bill that would require the Justice Department to release the Epstein files, is hopeful the measure will come up for a vote when the House returns in September. 'The thing about the files that everybody needs to understand is there are probably lots of names in there who haven't done anything criminal, and so there's a reluctance to release these files because of the embarrassment just having your name on the news in these files. And I always presumed that there were at least some of Trump's friends named in this and that might be why,' Massie told reporters Wednesday. The Trump administration in recent days has released a number of other files of interest to the MAGA base, including some on Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election and others related to Hillary Clinton's email server and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. But if designed to be a distraction, it doesn't appear to be working as many of Trump's supporters are still demanding to see information on the Epstein case. Massie said he expected anticipation on the Epstein issue to build over the coming recess, adding that members may face questions on their position on the files as they head to town halls. 'I think this issue will not dissipate. I think it will grow over the August recess,' he said. He also faulted Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for recessing the House a day earlier than expected rather than taking a vote on the controversial measure. 'I think he's just trying to do Trump a favor that makes sense? He doesn't want a paper thin sliver of daylight between him and the president, and so that's why he's avoided taking even the symbolic vote on the non-binding resolution,' Massie said.

These are the names a House panel plans to subpoena in its Epstein probe
A House subcommittee on Wednesday voted to subpoena the Justice Department's documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation — as well as it plans to pull a plethora of other high-profile public figures into the fray. The big picture: The ongoing Epstein earthquake has rumbled through Capitol Hill — despite President Trump 's attempts to quell the noise — with bipartisan efforts emerging to force the release of more files. Trump asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the release of "any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval" last week, but the request hit a snag in court. Meanwhile, the president has railed against what he's labeled as a "hoax" as the controversy continues to snowball. Driving the news: The House Oversight Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement on Wednesday voted 8-2 in favor of the Democratic subpoena motion. Three GOP representatives voted in favor of the motion. The day prior, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) introduced a motion to subpoena imprisoned Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, with whom the DOJ is also arranging a meeting, to testify. Zoom out: But the subcommittee's planned subpoenas don't stop there, with several other high-profile former officials set to be pressed for their testimony following a motion from Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). They include: Former President Bill Clinton, who a spokesperson said in 2019 knew nothing of Epstein's "terrible crimes," and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; Former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, who served as special counsel in the Russian election interference probe; The bottom line: Subpoenas are not an indication of wrongdoing, and it's unclear what lawmakers think those officials will offer to the investigation. What's next: House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) has already issued a subpoena to Maxwell for a deposition to occur on August 11, according to a Wednesday press release from the committee. The DOJ, which also plans to meet with Maxwell, will help facilitate the meeting at a Florida prison. An Oversight spokesman said that the new batch of subpoenas"will be issued in the near future," multiple outlets reported.
