Trump-Russia Investigation
Devin served on the Trump transition team, and became the first leading House Republican to deny that there was any contact between the campaign and Russian operatives, but eventually, the House Intelligence Committee started to investigate possible Russian interference during the 2016 US presidential elections, and Devin was criticized for not sharing information about the investigation of the Trump campaign. He was investigated by the United States House Committee on Ethics due to improper disclosure of classified information, but the committee later came to the conclusion that the information disclosed was not classified.
He continues to serve as the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and is a member of the House Balitc Caucus. He has been described as ‘Trump’s second-strongest ally in Congress’ by former Trump campaign CEO Steve Bannon.
Personal Life and Social Media
For his personal life, it is known that Nunes is very proud of his Portuguese descent, and even wrote a foreword to the 2012 edition of the novel “Home Is an Island”. He has been married to elementary school teacher Elizabeth Tamariz since 2003, and they have three daughters together. He has been a big fan of the Boston Celtics basketball team since he was a teenager.

His Facebook profile on the other hand focuses on agricultural and transportation issues, and others he’s handled in congress.
