Per The Hill:

An aide to President Trump is reportedly accepting a role outside of the White House.

Sebastian Gorka, a deputy assistant to the president, will take a position that deals with the “war of ideas” regarding radical Islamic extremism, sources told The Washington Examiner on Sunday.

Gorka has served as both a national security adviser and on the Strategic Initiatives Group, which is an organization within the White House, according to the publication. …

Last month, a Democratic lawmaker asked the White House to hand Gorka’s immigration paperwork over to the House Judiciary Committee for review.

In a letter addressed to Trump, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) cited a report in The Forward, an American Jewish news outlet, linking Gorka to a far-right group in Hungary, saying the judiciary panel needs to “be assured that he did not enter this country under false pretenses.”

The Forward reported on Thursday that Gorka was a formal member of the Historical Vitézi Rend, a Hungarian far-right group whose predecessor, the Vitézi Rend, was recognized by the State Department as under the direction of the Nazis.
