Dubke founded and ran a Republican media firm out of Alexandria, Va., before he accepted the position as communications director. He filled a role that was left empty since Trump transition spokesman Jason Miller stepped down from it the day before the inauguration, citing family responsibilities.
Press secretary Sean Spicer was responsible for both duties until Dubke was hired, and is expected to do so again until a new director is hired. (RELATED: Dubke To Be Named White House Communications Director)
