Chuck DarwinTrump taps combative aide for top press job as Cabinet picks face scrutiny Donald Trump on Friday chose one of his most combative advisers as his next White House communications director, doubling down on his years-long confrontational approach to the news media as his team defends two controversial Cabinet picks facing new scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct.  Trump tapped <a href="https://c.im/tags/Steven" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Steven</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cheung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cheung</a>, the communications director of his campaign, to lead his White House press shop, elevating a loyal spokesman and former Ultimate Fighting Championship staffer known for lobbing crude insults on social media. Although many of Trump’s press aides aggressively criticize the news media and relish taunting Democrats, Cheung stands out. His selection suggests Trump’s approach to the news media will be just as contentious in his second term as it was in his first, when White House press briefings often grew heated — if they happened at all.  <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/11/15/steven-cheung-trump-gaetz-hegseth/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/11/15/steven-cheung-trump-gaetz-hegseth/</a>

Chuck DarwinDonald Trump’s campaign said Saturday that some of its internal communications had been hacked. The acknowledgment came after POLITICO began receiving emails from an anonymous account with documents from inside Trump’s operation. The Trump campaign blamed “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” POLITICO has not independently verified the identity of the hacker or their motivation, and a Trump campaign spokesperson, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Steven" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Steven</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cheung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cheung</a>, declined to say if they had further information substantiating the campaigns’ suggestion that it was targeted by Iran.Cheung said: “These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process” -- exactly like the Russian "Wikileaks" documents used by the 2020 Trump campaign <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/10/trump-campaign-hack-00173503" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/10/trump-campaign-hack-00173503</a>
