White House Career
While serving on Reagan's staff, Deaver worked closely with Chief of Staff James Baker and Counsellor to the President Ed Meese. They were known as "The Troika" by some observers of the White House due to their influence over policy while they served on the White House staff.
As Deputy Chief of Staff at the White House, Deaver worked primarily on media management forming how the public perceived Reagan, sometimes by engineering press events so that the White House set the networks' agenda for covering the president.
Deaver resigned from the White House staff in May 1985.
