President Donald Trump is stacking his national security team with familiar faces.
Sebastian Gorka is back. And he gets the title of Senior Director for Counterterrorism.
Also, Alex Wong returns and is now assistant to the president and deputy national security advisor.
Looks like Team Trump is reuniting as the President keeps firing off his picks.
Known for his fierce MAGA support and also a former Fox News pundit, Gorka is more than ready to join up.

Fox News reports:
President-elect Trump on Friday announced that former State Department official Alex Wong will be appointed assistant to the president and principal deputy national security advisor, and that Sebastian Gorka, a former aide, will serve as deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counterterrorism.
ADVERTISEMENTBoth men served under Trump during his first term. Wong served in the State Department as deputy special representative for North Korea, and the deputy assistant secretary for East Asian and pacific affairs.
Rep. Mike Waltz, who was tapped by Trump to serve as his national security adviser, praised Wong on X.
“Alex has a proven record of delivering results during President Trump’s first term where he helped negotiate the historic summits with Kim Jong Un that stabilized relations,” he wrote. “He will have an essential role in helping keep America safe!”
Gorka, who Trump noted was a “legal immigrant,” previously served as deputy assistant to the president during Trump’s first term. He’s also a former Fox News contributor.
