Counterterrorism advisor Gorka out of White House, following Bannon & Scaramucci

On Friday, Deputy Assistant Sebastian Gorka resigned his position at the White House. Gorka wrote a resignation letter explaining disagreements with his colleagues in the Trump administration.

[G]iven recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House,” Gorka wrote, the Federalist reported. “As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the People’s House.”

Gorka’s main duties at the White House included serving as a counterterrorism advisor to Trump and supporting the drafting of a new long-term national security strategy. However, Gorka reportedly had problems obtaining a security clearance, according to The Hill.

An unnamed official at the White House pushed back against reports that Gorka resigned when asked for a confirmation on the nature of the departure.

“Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he no longer works at the White House,” he said, The Hill reported.

In his first 30 days as the president’s newly minted chief of staff, General John Kelly also removed Trump’s chief strategist, Steve Bannon, and Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci.

Scaramucci emerged from the ashes of a short-lived tenure in DC to claim there is an effort by the establishment to remove Trump from the White House due to his anti-establishment ideals.
