February 20 2025 - 3:05PM
The Board of Directors of Trump Media and Technology Group Corp.
(Nasdaq: DJT) ("TMTG"), operator of the social media platform Truth
Social, the streaming platform Truth+, and the FinTech brand
Truth.Fi, today voted to appoint former Secretary of the Interior
David Bernhardt to the TMTG Board of Directors.
On the Board, Bernhardt will replace Kash Patel, who has stepped
down upon his confirmation by the U.S. Senate today as Director of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
TMTG CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said, "Kash was crucial to the
growth and trajectory of TMTG. The Board will miss his many
contributions to the company’s dynamism, but he’s answered another
calling, and I congratulate him on his confirmation as FBI
Director. Simultaneously, we’re thrilled to have David Bernhardt
join the Board. 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.”
From 2019 to 2021, Bernhardt served as the 53rd Secretary of the
U.S. Department of the Interior. As Secretary of the Interior,
Bernhardt led more than 70,000 employees who oversaw U.S. public
lands including national parks, monuments, and wildlife refuges.
Prior to that, he served in various other positions in the
Department including Solicitor, deputy solicitor, deputy chief of
staff and counselor to the Secretary, and as director of
Congressional and Legislative affairs and counselor to the
Secretary.
Bernhardt is an avid hunter and angler and recently served on
the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries for the Commonwealth of
Virginia. He also led the International Boundary Commission between
the United States and Canada and was responsible, along with his
Canadian counterpart, for maintaining the 5,525 mile international
boundary between these two nations. He has in-depth experience in
legal matters concerning active regulations and rule-makings, with
years of legal experience in both the government and the private
sector.
