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 UFC, a league headed up by Trump ally Dana White. The campaign spokesperson is known for his combative presence on social media.
The president-elect has yet to name a press secretary, which is a more forward-facing role in the White House. Campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt is widely viewed as the front-runner for that position.
Politico first reported on Cheung's expected role.
Cheung becomes the latest long-time campaign aide to secure a role in Trump's White House. Trump announced earlier this week that Dan Scavino, Stephen Miller, James Blair and Taylor Budowich would all take senior staff roles in the White House after playing prominent roles on the campaign trail.

Having watched this clown perform over the past couple years I would best describe him as a demented animal.
That's okay. Based on Trump's last administration, there won't be a lot of communicating going around.
I don’t expect much from any White House communications person, no matter who is in office. I just didn’t expect Jabba the Hutt.
The memes are going to write themselves...
That boy got a meaty head.
Cheung insulted Patrick Dillon, the husband of Harris' campaign manager, Jennifer O"Malley Dillon, the day before the election, calling him a “cuck husband” who “has no idea what he’s talking about because he’s used to not knowing what’s going on behind his back", after Patrick Dillon tweeted about a story critical of Trump's campaign.
Patrick Dillon's reponse:
That sounds about right.
