Trump Media & Technology Group is adding former Congressman George Holding to its board of directors following the appointment of Linda McMahon as President Trump's secretary of education.
The company behind Truth Social on Friday said that its board voted in favor of Holding's appointment, who will take McMahon's seat.
McMahon stepped down as an independent director of the board upon her appointment as education secretary, the company said.
She was confirmed by the Senate on Monday.
Holding served as a Republican member of the U.S. Congress representing North Carolina from 2013 to 2021. Since then, he has worked as a managing director of government relations for Blackstone.
"With his extensive experience as a congressman and his wide-ranging legal background, George will bring a valued, fresh perspective to the board as TMTG strives to fulfill its plan to diversify into new industries and explore possible mergers and acquisitions," Chief Executive Devin Nunes said.
