Devin Nunes Leaving Congress to Be CEO Of Trump’s Media Company

California Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, who has served ten terms since 2002, will be resigning from Congress in a matter of weeks to take a role at former President Donald Trump‘s new media company.

Rising to fame for his staunch Trump support during the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, Nunes announced that he would begin as CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group in January.

“Recently, I was presented with a new opportunity to fight for the most important issues I believe in. I’m writing to let you know I’ve decided to pursue this opportunity, and therefore I will be leaving the House of Representatives at the end of 2021,” Nunes wrote in a letter to constituents seen by CNN after the news was broken by several outlets like the San Joaquin Valley Sun.

“Congressman Devin Nunes is a fighter and a leader. He will make an excellent CEO of TMTG,” Trump said in a statement. “Devin understands that we must stop the liberal media and Big Tech from destroying the freedoms that make America great. America is ready for TRUTH Social and the end to censorship and political discrimination.”

In the same news release from TMTG, Nunes said, “The time has come to reopen the Internet and allow for the free flow of ideas and expression without censorship. The United States of America made the dream of the Internet a reality and it will be an American company that restores the dream.”

Rep. Elise Stefanik, the House GOP conference chair and third-ranking House Republican, congratulated Nunes, tweeting, “Devin had a spine of steel and an unyielding commitment to fighting for the truth and the Constitution as Chairman and Republican Leader of the House Intelligence Committee. America is forever grateful.”
