President Donald Trump has appointed Sebastian Gorka, a MAGA radio host with extensive experience in national security and counterterrorism, as Senior Director for Counterterrorism and Deputy Assistant to the President. Gorka, who was previously targeted with illegal monitoring by the State Department, is part of a broader reshuffling of Trump's administration, which also includes bringing back former aide Alex Wong and naming Scott Turner to lead HUD. Gorka's role will focus on counterterrorism efforts within the White House, alongside two more Fox News stars unveiled among other Cabinet picks.
