Who Is Steven Cheung? What To Know About Trump’s Incoming Communications Director

President-elect Donald Trump named Steven Cheung to be the White House communications director in his second term, elevating the longtime press aide after Cheung has reliably adopted the president-elect’s combative tone in public statements and denounced Trump’s political rivals.

Trump announced Cheung’s appointment Friday, with the president-elect describing Cheung and fellow nominee Sergio Gor—tapped to lead the Presidential Personnel Office—in a statement as “trusted Advisors since my first Presidential Campaign in 2016” who “have continued to champion America First principles.”
