Inside sources have reportedly talked about his tenuous situation with news outlets including Bloomberg which explained, “The possible dismissal of Gorka suggests that [chief of staff John] Kelly is looking to root out Bannon allies and other officials prone to igniting public firestorms.”
One source told the Daily Beast that Kelly, who has been assessing the duties of some White House officials, “doesn’t know what [Gorka] does except go on TV sometimes.”
