Apparently, one of the handfuls of positions not affected by the political alignment is the director of stenography. In 2014, Dominique Dansky Bari started working under Obama as deputy director of stenography and three years later, she became the director for Trump’s White House. She has to manage the official stenographers of the White House. They take notes on meetings and also provide the press with transcripts after official events. Under Obama, Margaret Suntum held the same title and brought home $117,846 in 2016.
