Donald Trump has appointed Devin Nunes, the Truth Social CEO and former lawmaker, to oversee U.S. intelligence assessments as the new chair of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. Nunes brings years of political and intelligence experience to the role.
Trump Names Devin Nunes to Lead US Intelligence Panel
In a statement released on Saturday, President Donald Trump of the United States of America appointed Devin Nunes, a former politician in the United States who currently manages Trump's Truth Social social media platform, to the position of chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, Reuters reports.
Trump stated in a post on the platform that Nunes, who has been a longstanding supporter of Trump and who served as the chairman of the Intelligence Committee of the United States House of Representatives during a portion of Trump's first term in the White House, will continue to serve as the CEO of Truth Social while also serving on the advisory group.
Nunes, in his capacity as chair of the committee, made allegations that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had engaged in a conspiracy against Trump during its investigation into Russian intervention in the presidential elections of 2016, in which Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee.
Truth Social CEO Takes on Key Role in Intelligence
"Devin will draw on his experience as former Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and his key role in exposing the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, to provide me with independent assessments of the effectiveness and propriety of the U.S. Intelligence Community’s activities," Donald Trump wrote.
The President's Intelligence Advisory Board is a body that is housed within the White House that provides the president with impartial evaluations of the efficiency and planning of intelligence agencies, Investing.com explains.
