Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Donald Trump, is the latest official to exit the administration. He announced his decision in a letter to the president on Friday.
“[G]iven recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House,” Gorka wrote in the letter, obtained by the Federalist. “As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the People’s House.”
Gorka joins a growing list of White House officials who have stepped down in recent days, including chief strategist Steve Bannon, chief of staff Reince Priebus, communications director Anthony Scaramucci and press secretary Sean Spicer.
