Sebastian Gorka, President Donald Trump’s chief anti-terrorism adviser accused of ties to a far-right Hungarian organisation, is to leave the White House, it has been reported.
The British-born aide moved to the US from Hungary in 2012. It was claimed that in an interview with Hungarian TV unearthed by the American press, Mr Gorka voiced his support for the Magyar Garda, a fascist militia.
The footage led to calls for Mr Trump to fire him, with a spokesman for the NGO Human Rights Firstclaiming the White House was “harbouring a man who has made a career out of associating with racists and antisemites”.
That allegation gained traction when earlier this year leaders of the antisemitic group Historical Vitézi Rend said Mr Gorka was an official member.
