Crossroads Media founder Mike Dubke is expected to be named as White House Communications Director, two administration officials tell CNN.
The appointment is expected to be announced as early as Friday, the officials say.
The expected appointment is rankling some inside the White House, with longtime Trump loyalists inside and outside the West Wing saying they would have preferred a veteran from the campaign.
