He and his former wife Yulya Alferova were close at Trump's side during the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow in 2013.

Alferova has been talking up Trump as a presidential candidate since Election Day 2012.

Both are close friends with Konstantin Rykov, the notorious Kremlin propagandist who claims he was responsible for running a Russian based operation to get Trump elected via the use of Cambridge Analytica, Wikileaks and hacking groups. Klyushin was sitting at Rykov's table at the moment Trump was projected as the winner of the 2016 election.
