President-elect Donald Trump has made a significant appointment, selecting Devin Nunes to lead the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. Nunes, who currently serves as the CEO of Trump’s social media platform Truth Social, brings a wealth of experience to this important role.
In addition to his new position, Nunes will continue in his role as the CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group, a publicly traded company with a market cap of nearly $8 billion. As the largest shareholder in the company, Trump holds approximately 115 million shares valued at around $4.2 billion.
Prior to his current roles, Nunes represented California as a Republican lawmaker and chaired the House Intelligence Committee. Trump praised Nunes for his past accomplishments, including his efforts in uncovering what Trump referred to as the “Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed confidence in Nunes’ ability to provide independent assessments of the U.S. Intelligence Community’s activities. The President’s Intelligence Advisory Board plays a crucial role in overseeing the intelligence community’s compliance with the Constitution and has direct access to the president.
Nunes’ appointment further solidifies the ties between Trump Media & Technology Group and the incoming Trump administration. The company’s board includes prominent figures such as Linda McMahon, who is set to lead the Education Department, and Kash Patel, who has been selected as the next FBI director. Donald Trump Jr., the president-elect’s son, also sits on the board.
Overall, Nunes’ leadership on the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board signifies a strategic move by Trump to ensure that his administration receives expert guidance on intelligence matters. With his background in politics and technology, Nunes is well-equipped to fulfill this important role effectively.
