Johnson holds the roles of Special Assistant to the President and Assistant White House Communications Director with responsibility for national security communications.
The U.S. Department of State press release (Jan 22, 2026) states Dylan Johnson “currently serves as Special Assistant to the President and Assistant White House Communications Director, responsible for all national security communications.” The White House’s Jan 24, 2025 announcement also lists Johnson as Special Assistant to the President and Assistant Communications Director (for Special Projects). Multiple official and high‑quality sources identify Johnson as a Special Assistant and as an Assistant Communications Director at the White House; the State Department release explicitly adds the national‑security communications responsibility. Verdict: True — official State Department and White House materials support the claim that Johnson serves as Special Assistant to the President and as an Assistant White House Communications Director with responsibility for national security communications.
