Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) CEO Devin Nunes will step down from his position to focus on his role with the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, the company said Tuesday.
“In Congress, I battled corruption at the highest levels of government, including the Russia collusion hoax, the Ukraine impeachment hoax, and the politicization of our intelligence agencies. Now, having achieved Trump Media’s original mission of giving the American people their voices back, and with the Company’s future secured through our strong balance sheet, it’s an appropriate time for Kevin McGurn, a Trump Media advisor with deep experience in media, mergers, and acquisitions, to take over the Company’s leadership and steer Trump Media through its current transition phase,” Nunes shared in a statement.
“This will allow me to focus more intently on my role as Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board and on other ventures, knowing the company is in safe hands under Kevin’s stewardship,” he added.
The statement stated that Kevin McGurn will take over leadership on an interim basis.
Nunes, a former California congressman, helped lead the launch and growth of the company’s flagship platform, Truth Social, and oversaw its transition into a publicly traded company following its merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp.
In a statement, Nunes credited Donald Trump with inspiring the company’s creation.
“President Trump started Trump Media due to the suppression of free speech online by tech oligarchs,” Nunes said. “In response, we built a team and launched a global social media platform, Truth Social, developing our own infrastructure in order to make our services uncancellable and to restore free expression for millions of Americans.”
During his tenure, Nunes also guided efforts to expand the company’s business lines, including investments in artificial intelligence, energy and digital assets, as well as the leadership of Truth Social and the launch of a streaming platform known as Truth+.
Before joining the company, Nunes served in Congress and chaired the House Intelligence Committee from 2015 to 2019. He has held his current advisory role since 2025, working alongside Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe on intelligence matters.
