Republican Devin Nunes to quit Congress and head Trump’s social media platform

California congressman has claimed without evidence that social media companies seek to censor Republicans

Devin Nunes, the California congressman and close ally of Donald Trump, will be retiring from the US House of Representatives next year to join Trump's new social media venture.

The Republican congressman, who represents a rural California district, announced his retirement from the House on Monday, writing in a letter to constituents that he was leaving his position to pursue a new opportunity to fight for the most important issues I believe in".
