Sebastian Gorka, special assistant to President Trump, has offered his letter of resignation to the president, according to multiple reports on Friday.
“[G]iven recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are — for now — ascendant within the White House,” Gorka wrote in a letter obtained by The Federalist that was confirmed by CNN.
Gorka did not immediately respond when asked to confirm.
“As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the People’s House,” he continued.
Speculation has swirled since the ouster of former Brietbart colleague Stephen Bannon that Gorka, long one of the more controversial figures in Trump’s White House, was on the rocks under the reign of newly-minted chief of staff John Kelly.

Larger Question: Why is @FDRLST running a Gorka press release masquerading as a news story?
