Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, has chosen Devin Nunes to lead the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB). This board helps the President understand how well the intelligence agencies are working. Trump shared this news on his Truth Social platform, saying, “Devin will use his experience from being the former Chair of the House Intelligence Committee and his work to expose the Russia Hoax to provide me with his thoughts on the intelligence community’s effectiveness.”
So, who is Devin Nunes? Here are some quick facts:
1. Nunes is a strong supporter of Trump and is currently the CEO of Truth Social, a social media platform created by Trump in February 2022. He will do both jobs at the same time.
2. He is a Republican and used to be a member of the House of Representatives from California.
3. In December 2021, Nunes left Congress to become the CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group, which runs Truth Social.
4. He was the Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in 2015 and released a memo in 2018 claiming the FBI was working against Trump. Some Democrats said the memo was misleading.
5. This appointment is just one of many where Trump has chosen people linked to his media company, including Kash Patel for FBI director and Linda McMahon for the Department of Education, who are also on the board of Trump Media.
