Sebastian Gorka becomes latest Donald Trump adviser to leave White House
Sebastian Gorka has become the latest member of Donald Trump's team to leave the White House.
The right-wing British deputy assistant to the president cited "forces" that do not support the "Make America Great Again" agenda as the reason for departure.
A White House official said: "Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he no longer works at the White House."
The circumstances surrounding Mr Gorka's departure were unclear.
"Regrettably, outside of yourself, the individuals who most embodied and represented the policies that will 'Make America Great Again,' have been internally countered, systematically removed, or undermined in recent months," the national security adviser wrote, according to Politico.
"As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr President, is from outside the People's House."
Steve Bannon, who is close to Mr Gorka and is the figurehead of the al-right movement, was ousted as Mr Trump's chief strategist last Friday. He returned to running the right-wing news organisation, Breitbart.
Earlier this year, Mr Gorka, who grew up in West London, was pictured wearing a medal presented by an order that was "under Nazi control" during the Second World War
In March, calls mounted for Mr Gorka's resignation after he was pictured wearing the medal, which was presented by the Vitezi Rend, an order designated by the US government as “under Nazi control” during the Second World War when Hungary’s nationalist leader Miklos Horthy allied with Adolf Hitler and collaborated in the murder of hundreds of thousands of Jews.
Mr Gorka denied accusations that his ties to a Hungarian group linked to the Nazis are evidence of anti-Semitic views.
Mr Gorka had initially been hired to play a key role on the Strategic Initiatives Group, an advisory panel created by Mr Bannon to run parallel to the National Security Council.
But that group fizzled out in the early months of the administration. Mr Gorka was reportedly unable to get clearance for the National Security Council after he was charged last year with carrying a weapon at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
