Trump vetting czar hiding his origins
Sergio Gor is the man who Trump has put in charge of vetting staffers--the same man who tried to drive Elon Musk out of the administration and openly celebrated when Trump and Musk had their little rift.
Well, it now appears that the man who is in charge of vetting has not yet been vetted, and there is an interesting reason why.
Want Musk gone
During the feud between Trump and Musk, there were reports flying that Gor was beside himself with joy over having Musk removed from the administration.
Now, a lot of this was gossip, but the comments by Musk tended to lend credence to the reports because Musk clearly hated this man.
That was likely because Gor was blocking a Musk recommendation of one of his staffers to join the Trump administration.
Once that recommendation was blocked, it was game on.
Snake in the grass
As Trump and Musk were feuding, a report surfaced in the New York Post that Gor had not yet been fully vetted, which would bring his security clearance into question.
Musk responded to the post, “He’s a snake.”
The White House responded to the report, “Mr. Gor is fully compliant with all applicable ethical and legal obligations. His security clearance is active, any insinuation he doesn’t maintain a clearance is false.”
It turns out, Musk appeared to have the inside track on this one.
Not who he says he is
Gor has long told stories that he was born in Malta, but that narrative has just been blown to bits by a Maltese newspaper, having revealed that Gor was really born in Uzbekistan.
Malta’s government confirmed that it had no record of Gor being born there, so now a lot of questions are being raised about Gor and how he could have slipped through the cracks like this.
Gor did live on Malta when he was young, as his mother opened a business there, but that is not his country of birth.
Currently, Gor is working off an interim security clearance, which will be expiring later this month, and he has reportedly not turned in his Standard Form 86, likely because he has been telling tales about his birthplace for so long, he does not want to get outed as a fraud. So, dare we ask, who is the real Sergio Gor and why is he lying about his birthplace?
