Twitter Inc has appointed Jim Baker as Deputy General Counsel. Baker formerly served as general counsel at the Federal Bureau of Investigation for four years. He left the FBI in January 2018.

Baker has also held various roles at the Department of Justice. Including counsel for intelligence policy.
