Devin Nunes Named CEO of TruthSocial by Trump: Intelligence Advisory Board Leader
President-elect Donald Trump appointed Devin Nunes, the CEO of TruthSocial, as chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board on Saturday. Nunes, a former representative from California and a key Trump ally, left Congress in 2021 to lead Trump Media and Technology Group, the company behind TruthSocial. Trump made the announcement on the TruthSocial platform, highlighting Nunes’ experience and expertise in intelligence matters.
Background and Accomplishments
During his time in Congress, Nunes chaired the House Intelligence Committee and was a vocal supporter of Trump, releasing a controversial memo in 2018 alleging an FBI conspiracy against the former president. Despite facing criticism from Democrats for the memo’s accuracy, Nunes remained a steadfast ally of Trump.
Role of the Advisory Board
The President’s Intelligence Advisory Board is an independent group that offers the president unbiased advice on the intelligence community’s operations. As chairman of the board, Nunes will provide Trump with independent assessments of the U.S. Intelligence Community’s activities. Trump praised Nunes’ leadership qualities and his role in exposing what he referred to as the “Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax.”
Continued Leadership at TruthSocial
While taking on his new role as chairman of the advisory board, Nunes will continue to serve as CEO of TruthSocial. Trump emphasized Nunes’ ability to balance both responsibilities effectively. This appointment adds to a growing list of administration picks with connections to Trump’s media company, including Linda McMahon and Kash Patel.
