President-elect Trump announced Saturday that Truth Social CEO and former Republican California Rep. Devin Nunes will lead the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB).
Nunes will “provide me with independent assessments of the effectiveness and propriety of the U.S. Intelligence Community’s activities” as the leader of the group of “distinguished citizens from outside of the Federal Government,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Nunes will lead the independent group “[w]hile continuing his leadership of Trump Media & Technology Group,” Trump added.
Trump also stated his expectation Nunes would “draw on his experience as former Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and his key role in exposing the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax.”
In his role as House Intelligence Committee chairperson, Nunes alleged the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conspired against Trump during its investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, Reuters reported.

The FBI’s investigation was rushed, whereas the agency was more cautious about influencing the campaign of 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hilary Clinton’s than that of Trump, Department of Justice special counsel John Durham argued while ending the Trump-Russia probe, according to The Associated Press.

The 16-member PIAB advises the White House on the effectiveness of the intelligence community as well as how robust its plans for the future are, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The PIAB also “has access to all information necessary to perform its functions.”
The Trump Media & Technology Group is a publicly traded company with a market cap of nearly $8 billion market. Trump is the company’s largest shareholder: his nearly 115 million shares are currently worth about $4.2 billion, according to Politico.
Nunes became the company’s CEO in December 2021, according to a press release from the organization.
Nunes joins TMTG board members Linda McMahon and Kash Patel as nominees for positions in Trump’s incoming cabinet.
