Steven Cheung has acquired a reputation for his cutting and sometimes brutal verbal attacks on Donald Trump's political rivals.

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.

Trump is expected to make Matt Gaetz his attorney general and Marco Rubio his secretary of state, and place Tulsi Gabbard, Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller in key posts.
