3. 'Sebastian Gorka was White House aide while a fugitive from Hungarian justice'

"The White House employed a Hungarian fugitive for seven months, according to an arrest warrant that appears to show that Sebastian Gorka, a former adviser to Donald Trump, was wanted there on weapons charges as of September 2016."

"The warrant, first reported by Hungarian online outlet 444 and BuzzFeed News is for 'firearm or ammunition abuse.'..Gorka, a former Breitbart writer and Trump campaign surrogate, served as 'deputy assistant' to the president during his White House tenure, but the exact nature of his role was vague. Gorka was reportedly forced out last August, by the chief of staff, John Kelly, who had recently assumed the role."

"Gorka has a longstanding and well-documented interest in guns. He told Recoil magazine in November that his 'everyday carry' includes two pistols, a knife, a tourniquet – and for good measure – a copy of the US constitution. In February 2016, he had a pistol confiscated after attempting to bring it through Washington’s Reagan national airport."
