Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California is retiring from Congress, multiple reports said Monday.
Nunes has served on Capitol Hill since 2003 and gained national media attention during the Trump administration for his vehement defenses of then-President Donald Trump amid the FBI's Russia investigation.
Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman reported that Nunes is "rumored" to be eyeing a job working for Trump's social media startup. Fox News also confirmed the reporting , citing a source as saying he "got a job offer he can't refuse" running the nascent media organization.
The San Joaquin Valley Sun, a local news outlet in California, reported that Nunes will step down from his position at the end of the month.
A spokesperson for Nunes did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The California congressman is currently the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, making him the most powerful Republican on the panel. He was also in line to take over the chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee if Republicans took back the chamber in 2022.
