Who Is Sebastian Gorka? A Trump Adviser Comes Out of the Shadows

Since President Trump appointed Sebastian Gorka last month as a deputy assistant, Mr. Gorka has been an increasingly visible defender of the administration.

He has spoken out in favor of the targeted travel ban, which spurred mass protests and was then blocked by federal courts. He suggested in a recent interview with The Hill that the CNN anchor Jake Tapper was sexist for aggressively questioning the Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway. He has also insisted that media reports of turmoil in the White House bear “almost no resemblance to reality.”

Mr. Gorka came out swinging again on Thursday, after Mr. Trump’s contentious news conference in which he excoriated the media. Asked by Evan Davis of the BBC to assess Mr. Trump’s appearance, Mr. Gorka repeatedly declared the president’s performance “fabulous.”

“It’s only weird to journalists like yourself, who are biased,” he said.

Who is he? Here’s what we know:


Naturalized American citizen

Mr. Gorka is an American citizen who was born in Britain to Hungarian parents. He earned a Ph.D. in political science from Corvinus University of Budapest and has made his living as a national security expert with a focus on Islamist extremism....................

1. Isn't he the one who wore the Hungarian Nazi medal to the inauguration? Why yes! I believe he is!

3. I think you are right. I knew I saw that face before but could not place him. Thanks

[Squinch]

4. I always remember him because I liked the singer John Gorka. Sad that this Nazi is now

associated with that name.

6. It is a relatively comman last name in my hometown in

C. Wisconsin. Polish ancestry in that town. But Romania is close--"eastern" Europe.

8. He tried to board a plane, armed with a handgun, last year

Once he had been appointed to the White House, a judge let him off, on the grounds that he'd managed to not get caught breaking other laws since then:

A judge has dismissed a misdemeanor charge a senior White House aide was facing for bringing a handgun to a security checkpoint at Reagan National Airport a year ago.

Sebastian Gorka, a former Breitbart national security editor who now is a deputy assistant to the president, did not appear at the brief court proceeding Friday morning in Arlington County Circuit Court.

Gorka’s attorney, Christopher Oprison, and a prosecutor appeared before Circuit Court Judge William Newman, who dismissed the case under an arrangement that left Gorka with no conviction after he stayed out of trouble with the law for six months.
...
Transportation Security Administration screeners found the gun in Gorka’s carry-on bag when he was preparing to board a flight at National bound for Florida in January 2016. Oprison said Gorka simply forgot it was there.

Bet you didn't know there was an arrangement where you can be let off a crime, just by not committing any more for a bit, did you? Maybe it involves knowing "the right people" too ...
