Summary
Donald Trump’s appointment of far-right commentator Sebastian Gorka as deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counter-terrorism has sparked backlash.
Critics, including former Trump officials John Bolton and HR McMaster, have labeled Gorka unqualified and controversial, pointing to his brief tenure in Trump’s first term and his promotion of extreme policies.
