Sebastian Gorka, Alex Wong to Join Trump Administration as Senior National Security Staff

The two served during the first term.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has announced two new picks for his national security team, including a veteran of his first term familiar to many radio listeners.

Sebastian Gorka, who served as a deputy assistant to the president in 2017, will reprise that role while also serving as counterterrorism director in the administration.

Gorka hosts a widely syndicated radio program.

โ€œSince 2015, Dr. Gorka has been a tireless advocate for the America First Agenda and the MAGA Movement,โ€ Trump wrote in his announcement on Nov. 22.

Alex Wong, who served in the State Department during the first term, will also have a deputy assistant to the president role and serve as principal deputy national security advisor. Trump has picked Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) as his choice for the national security advisor role.

Wong also held a special position in relation to North Korea. In his announcement of the picks, Trump noted that Wong had helped facilitate his high-profile meeting with the leader of that nuclear-armed country, Kim Jong-Un, during his first administration.

This is a developing story that will be updated.
