Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Donald Trump and senior director for counterterrorism, accused Senate Democrats of double standards in their reaction to the use of the Signal app, telling Newsmax on Tuesday he doesn’t recall their concern over Hillary Clinton’s national security gaffes when she was secretary of state.
