Sebastian Gorka’s Account Of Military Record Questioned In New Report

A report in Jezebel today highlights contradictions in controversial Donald Trump advisor Sebastian Gorka’s accounts of his military career.
The Forward has reported on Gorka’s ties to a Hungarian anti-Semitic group, and on his expression of support for a violent anti-Semitic militia.
Jezebel reported that Gorka’s time in the British military has been characterized in contradictory ways over the years.
“He has given several different versions of precisely what his military service entailed,” Jezebel’s Anna Merlan wrote. “After three weeks of painstaking, fruitless effort, I cannot figure out which version is correct, or get Gorka or the White House to tell me. Nor have I been able to find a single source to independently verify Gorka’s service history.”
