President Donald Trump and his chief strategist, Steve Bannon "personally intervened" to keep national security aide Sebastian Gorka at the White House, after others in the administration were trying to move him to another federal agency, according to senior administration sources.
Last week, sources reported that Gorka was leaving his post as a national security adviser and part of the Strategic Initiatives group to work with a federal agency that examines the 'war of ideas' on countering radical Islamic terrorism. A day later, however, other sources insisted Gorka was not leaving after all.
According to The Daily Beast on Saturday, Trump sees Gorka as being a vital commentator of his administration's anti-terrorism stance. Further, Bannon and Gorka worked together at Breitbart News, where Gorka was Bannon's national security editor.
Gorka was to leave the West Wing, the initial reports claimed because of his difficulty obtaining security clearances and over his involvement with the Vitezi Rend, a Hungarian nationalist group with alleged historical ties to Nazi Germany.
One of the group's leaders told NBC News in April it was "proud" that Gorka wore its honorary medal while attending Trump's Inaugural Ball.
Gorka has denied membership in the organization, and said he wore the medal that had been awarded to his Hungarian-born father.

Trump, Bannon, Gorka ping.
The key word is "alleged". And who is doing the alleging? People associated with George Soros, who really was collaborating with Nazis in that era.
I’ve heard him on the radio—just once. Gorka is an amazing source on World Terror.
Imagine that... A President who is allowed to have his own staff...

There’s no White House intervention like a DJT intervention.
Maybe, and let’s hope not too late, he is learning not to listen to Jivanka on his staffing? Might he find a way to undo some of the bad hires they got him into?
I really, really like Gorka. His wife is also very interesting. Go check out Wiki. Bannon and Gorka are my two faves of Trump’s WH staff.
Gorka is terrific. If this story is true it’s good news It shows Bannon still has clout when MSM had him dead and buried.
Gorda is one of my favs, too!
He used to be on Fox a lot, and was a fantastic commentator on national security issues, especially terrorism.
He is very smart. Glad he’s on the President’s team.
Gorka say this is fake news
No one from the United States can do this job? We need to have foreigners doing it?

I have to credit David Brody with that one.
I don’t mind having liberals like Jared Kusher, Ivanka, and Gary Cohn on staff at the WH as long as they are counterbalanced by conservatives like Bannon, Miller and Dr. Gorka. Thanks to Trump for coming down on the right side; once you give in to the left and their media sycophants, they will merely pick the next target.
I see him often on FOX business and sometimes FOX. He is one of the people I stop to watch when I watch TV at 60x
Did the medal he wore have a Swastika on it?
