White House adviser Sebastian Gorka, who was aligned with a nationalist faction led by ousted senior strategist Steve Bannon, no longer works for President Donald Trump, the White House has said.
“Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he no longer works at the White House,” a White House official said in a statement.
The official did not elaborate, but the statement suggested that Mr Gorka had been fired. Mr Gorka had reportedly feuded with national security adviser General HR McMaster and was unhappy with the decision Mr Trump announced this week – backed by General McMaster and the US military – to reorient US policy in Afghanistan.
Mr Gorka, who frequently appeared on cable news shows to tout Mr Trump’??s policies, was a divisive figure within the administration, seen by veteran intelligence professionals and diplomats as an ideologue with little real-world experience.
