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.
