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.
Former Trump transition spokesman Jason Miller was originally tapped to serve as communications director for the White House, but Miller stepped aside before Inauguration Day to spend more time with his family.
Dubke did not respond to a CNN request for comment.
