Devin Nunes's final chief takes a smoke break

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on May 19, 2022

Ex-Rep. Devin Nunes's (R-Calif.) final chief of staff has joined Big Tobacco.

Jilian Souza joined Altria this month as a senior director for federal government affairs. Altria, one of the world's biggest tobacco producers, disclosed spending more than $12.3 million on federal lobbying through a subsidiary in the last year.

Souza joined Nunes's office as a staff assistant in 2014 and worked her way up to chief of staff, a position she held when Nunes resigned from Congress in January to lead the Trump Media & Technology Group.
