US President-elect Donald Trump said on Friday that he picked Steven Cheung to be his White House communications director.

Cheung, 42, has been a top press aide for Trump’s campaign over the past two years.

Trump also said Sergio Gor will serve as assistant to the president and director of the Presidential Personnel Office.
