President Trump’s top counterterrorism adviser Sebastian Gorka is stonewalling questions regarding the Forward expose detailing his membership in a Hungarian Nazi-affiliated organization.
“Send a request to White House press,” Gorka told BuzzFeed News, refusing to respond to the specifics of the report, which quoted two senior leaders in the Vitézi Rend organization, whose members “are presumed to be inadmissible” to the United States, according to the State Department.
The White House press office did not respond to the Forward’s requests for comment.

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
- Alyssa Katz, Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
