WASHINGTON — One of the most powerful men in the Trump administration, tasked with vetting thousands of staffers, hasn’t been fully vetted himself, The Post has learned.

Sergio Gor — the director of presidential personnel who recently convinced President Trump to yank an Elon Musk-endorsed nominee for NASA — has yet to submit official paperwork about his own background needed for a permanent security clearance, according to multiple sources.

...

Among the questions applicants must answer under threat of criminal penalties is where they were born and whether they have any foreign connections.

Gor claims to be from the island country of Malta, though an official there could not confirm his birthplace when provided his exact birthday, saying: “No acts are registered with the provided details.”

He may not be “offically” vetted, but there are other, and sometimes more reliable vetting methods.

We still don’t know who hired Craig Livingstone. Just saying. Every administration has this problem.

I remember Craig. Made me laugh. Lied to his diary and was told by Congressman Lantos to kill himself.

Let Laura Loomer vet him. She seems to be better at it than whomever is doing it inside the administration.

Ah,yes. I remember that when Billy Jeff Clinton was first in office, DOZENS of his staff and nominees could not pass the background investigation. More than a few cokeheads (& probably other 'substances')

Clinton eventually posted those folks to positions that did not require background investigations.

I, once again, mention The Great Lee Rodgers and his wonderful description/title for Billy Jeff. He is not "the man from Hope." More accurately, he is:

The Hillbilly Whorehopper From Hot Springs .
