Timeline

1963

His parents had fled to the United Kingdom from Hungary after the failed anti-Soviet 1956 uprising and became naturalised British citizens on February 25, 1963.

He attended St Benedict's School in west London, and received a lower second-class honours (2:2) B.A. degree in philosophy and theology from Heythrop College, a constituent college of the University of London.

1970

Sebastian Lukács Gorka (Gorka Sebestyén Lukács) (born October 22, 1970) is a Hungarian-American media host and commentator currently affiliated with Salem Radio Network and NewsMax TV and a former government official who served briefly in the Trump administration as a Deputy Assistant to the President for seven months, from January 2017 until his termination on August 25, 2017.

He has written several books.

1992

Gorka was born in the United Kingdom to Hungarian parents, lived in Hungary from 1992 to 2008, and in 2012 became a naturalized American citizen.

Gorka has written for a variety of publications, is politically conservative and has ties to the alt-right, though he rejects the term and has condemned the alt-right, calling it "bogus" and "a new label for nationalists or irredentist bigots".

During his seven months in the Trump administration, Gorka gave a series of combative interviews with the press in which he defended the administration's positions on national security and foreign policy.

Various national security scholars in academic and policymaking circles have characterized Gorka as fringe.

Some critics have challenged his academic credentials, his views on Islam and radicalization, and his motives for identifying with the Order of Vitéz and supporting Magyar Gárda, a paramilitary organization banned by the European Union.

Gorka was born in London to Zsuzsa and Pál Gorka.

While at university, he joined the British Territorial Army as a volunteer (typically committing to a weekend a month and a fortnight's annual camp), serving over a period of three years in the 22 Intelligence Company of the Intelligence and Security Group (Volunteers), an interrogation unit with a NATO role specializing in Russian language training and supporting 1 (BR) Corps until the latter was disbanded in 1992 at the end of the Cold War.

In 1992, he moved to Hungary, where he worked for the Hungarian Ministry of Defence while studying for a master's degree in international relations and diplomacy at the Budapest University of Economic Sciences and Public Administration, now known as the Corvinus University, which he completed in 1997.

1997

In 1997, he was a Partnership for Peace International research fellow at the NATO Defense College in Rome.

1998

In 1998, Gorka served as an adviser to Viktor Orbán.

2002

In 2002, he entered the political science doctoral program at Corvinus University where he obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2007.

Gorka is a naturalized American citizen.

Gorka worked in the Hungarian Ministry of Defense during the prime ministership of József Antall.

Following the September 11 attacks, Gorka became a public figure in Hungary as a television counterterrorism expert.

This led to his being asked in 2002 to serve as an official expert on the parliamentary investigatory committee created to uncover the Communist background and alleged counterespionage of the new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Medgyessy.

Gorka failed to obtain the necessary security clearance from the National Security Office to serve on the committee, apparently because he was widely regarded as a spy working for British counterintelligence.

Gorka defended himself against the charge by saying his service in the British army was merely as a uniformed member of its counterterrorism unit, tasked with assessing threats from groups such as the IRA.

2004

In 2004, Gorka became an adjunct to the faculty of the new US initiative for the Program for Terrorism and Security Studies (PTSS), a Defense Department-funded program based in the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

At the same time Gorka became an adjunct to USSOCOM's Joint Special Operations University, MacDill Air Force Base.

2008

He and his family relocated to the United States in 2008.

He was hired as administrative dean at the National Defense University, Fort McNair, Washington D.C. Two years later, he began to lecture part-time for the ASD(SO/LIC)-funded Masters Program in Irregular Warfare and Counterterrorism as part of the Combating Terrorism Fellowship Program but remained in a largely administrative role.

2009

Between 2009 and 2011 Gorka wrote for the Hudson Institute of New York (now Gatestone Institute).

2011

Between 2011 and 2013, Gorka was an adjunct faculty member at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy.

2014

In 2014 Gorka assumed the privately endowed Major General Matthew C. Horner Distinguished Chair of Military Theory at the Marine Corps University Foundation.

From 2014 to 2016, Gorka was an editor for national security affairs for Breitbart News, where he worked for Steve Bannon.

2016

In August 2016, he joined The Institute of World Politics, a private institution, on a full-time basis as Professor of Strategy and Irregular Warfare and Vice President for National Security Support.

He is on the advisory board of the Council for Emerging National Security Affairs (CENSA).

2017

In January 2017, Gorka was appointed Deputy Assistant to the President and Strategist in the Trump White House.

He was a member of a White House team known as the Strategic Initiatives Group, which was set up by White House advisors Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner.

The Strategic Initiatives Group never got off the ground, and Gorka failed to obtain the security clearance necessary for work on national security issues.

Questions were raised about Gorka's precise roles and duties within the Trump administration.

In April 2017, The Washington Examiner reported that the Trump administration was planning to move Gorka to a role outside the White House; however, in May 2017 The Daily Beast reported that Trump and Bannon had intervened to retain Gorka in his position.

On August 25, 2017, Gorka's White House tenure ended, one week after Bannon's departure.

Gorka stated that he had resigned because White House officials were "undermining" the Make America Great Again (MAGA) Platform.

The White House disputed his claim that he resigned, but confirmed he was no longer employed there and did not have further access to the White House grounds.

"Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he no longer works at the White House," a White House official told Politico on August 25, 2017.
