Donald Trump's latest social media platform “Truth Social” is arranging a progressive rollout this week and can become "completely functional" by late March, possibly raising the former president's profile after almost a year when he was prohibited by major social media platforms.

"I think, by the end of March, we’re going to be fully operational - at least within the United States," added Nunes, who left the US House to lead the Trump group.

"It's actually very moving for me to see people that are on the platform that have had their voice canceled," said Nunes.
