Trump names former White House staffer Sebastian Gorka to defense education body

[Behind the Aegis]

President Donald Trump named Sebastian Gorka to a committee that promotes national security through the education system.

A onetime White House staffer, Gorka had come under fire for his associations with the Hungarian far-right.

On Tuesday, Trump named Gorka to the National Security Education Board, which oversees the National Security Education Program, a congressionally mandated program that dispenses grants and scholarships to promote study in areas of critical national security interest.

Gorka worked in the White House for six months at the beginning of Trump’s term as an adviser on counterterrorism, although he lacked the security clearance necessary for employment on the National Security Council.

3. Are we stuck with him for four years?

I heard it’s a 4-year position. I really hate this if true. 4 months is bad enough.
