Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. named digital media veteran Kevin J. McGurn interim CEO on April 21, ending Devin Nunes’s four-year run leading the parent company of Truth Social.
The announcement did not explain the reason for Nunes’s departure and did not set a timeline for a permanent successor.
McGurn, 50, boasts more than two decades of experience in digital media, streaming, telecommunications, and advertising technology. He has served in senior roles at Hulu, Vevo, NBC Universal, T-Mobile, and DoubleClick. He also served as an adviser to Trump Media since December 2024.
Donald Trump Jr. announced the news on behalf of the company’s board of directors.
“I want to thank Devin Nunes for his dedicated service to the Company over the past four years, and congratulate Kevin McGurn on his appointment as Interim CEO,” Trump Jr. said.
“Kevin brings deep experience across media, technology, and capital markets, as well as a strong understanding of Trump Media’s operations and strategic priorities. His familiarity with the Company and alignment with our leadership team uniquely position him to guide Trump Media through this important period.”
President Donald Trump “founded Truth to give all Americans a platform for free speech, and the Company is poised to take off and meet that vital challenge and opportunity,” McGurn said in a statement sent to media outlets. He did not immediately return a request for comment.
McGurn will now lead strategic initiatives across Trump Media’s three core platforms: Truth Social, the flagship social media service; Truth+, its video streaming arm; and Truth.Fi, a financial services and fintech brand. He will also oversee the company’s mergers and acquisitions strategy.
In a statement posted to Truth Social, Nunes framed his departure in forward-looking terms, saying the company had achieved its founding goal.
“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 wrote.
He said that following his departure, he would focus on other initiatives.
“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.
Trump Media has been expanding its purview, striking deals with Crypto.com and, in late 2025, announcing a merger with fusion power company TAE Technologies.
In February, Trump Media detailed talks around a potential spinoff of its numerous arms, including Truth Social. The company has also moved into cryptocurrency and prediction markets, two industries that have benefited from relaxed regulations under the Trump administration.
McGurn is also chief executive of a shell company that Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump joined last year to acquire U.S. manufacturers. That company’s regulatory filings initially said it would target businesses seeking federal contracts.
Nunes first joined Trump Media in December 2021, upon leaving the U.S. House of Representatives after two decades. He had been the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee.
