Former Interior Secretary David Bernhardt has joined the board of directors of President Donald Trump’s social media company, replacing the man who is now director of the FBI.
As the newest board member of Trump Media and Technology Group Corp., Bernhardt will help oversee the Truth Social social media platform as well as Truth+, a TV streaming platform, and the newly launched financial services venture called Truth.Fi.
“With his incredibly expansive background in governance, energy resources, land management, and many other fields, Dave is a great addition to the board as we look forward to diversifying TMTG into new industries and continue our explorations of possible mergers and acquisitions,” company CEO and chair Devin Nunes said in a statement.
An attorney, Bernhardt last month joined former Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette to announce the start of the Restoring Energy Dominance Coalition to promote Trump’s energy policies.
