Steven Cheung, who has served as a top press aide on the Trump campaign for the past two years, will join the incoming administration as White House communications director, President-elect Trump announced Friday.
While Cheung was not a regular presence on television like some of Trump’s other aides, he has worked with the former president in a communications role for years, having served on Trump’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns.
Cheung also did a stint as a top communications official for The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a league headed up by Trump ally Dana White. The campaign spokesman is known for his combative presence on social media.
