President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday tapped Devin Nunes, the CEO of his social media platform Truth Social, to lead the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, an independent group within the Executive Office that oversees the U.S. intelligence community’s compliance with the Constitution.

Nunes will continue leading Trump Media & Technology Group, a public company with a nearly $8 billion market cap. Trump is the company’s largest shareholder, with nearly 115 million shares that are currently worth about $4.2 billion.

Nunes previously served as a Republican lawmaker from California and was chair of the House Intelligence Committee.

“Devin will draw on his experience … 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,” Trump said Saturday in a Truth Social post.

The board “has access to all information necessary to perform its functions,” according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, as well as direct access to the president.

Nunes has led Trump Media since late 2021. His selection to lead the Intelligence Advisory Board further ties the company to the incoming Trump administration. Linda McMahon, Trump’s pick to lead the Education Department, and Kash Patel, who has been tapped to become FBI director, both sit on Trump Media’s board alongside the president-elect’s son, Donald Trump Jr.
