Sergio Gor, President Trumps top official tasked with vetting political appointees, has long claimed to be from Malta but a recent report by the Times of Malta revealed that he was actually born in Uzbekistan.
Gor, 38, plays a critical role in staffing the Trump administration by recruiting and screening up to 4,000 officials across the executive branch. However, questions have emerged about his background, particularly as sources say he delayed submitting the Standard Form 86 (SF-86), a comprehensive security clearance document required of top federal personnel.
Although the White House stated that Gor had completed the SF-86, it did not confirm whether it had been submitted. Later, Gors attorney, Rob Garson, clarified that the form has been filled out and filed. Sources noted his interim security clearance is expected to expire this month, though Trump could extend it.
Maltas government previously confirmed to The Post that it had no birth record for Gor. Two sources told The Post that Gor was actually born in Uzbekistan a fact later confirmed by the Times of Malta, which reported Gor was born in 1986 in Tashkent.

(258,910 posts)Back then (under Gorbachev) Americans were welcome, despite Reagan. Even people on the street would come up to us when they heard us speaking English (as so many Russians also did) and when we explained that we were American, they were excited to meet us. But rather than asking us what America was like, they wanted to know what we thought of their country.
And not only did we meet with numerous Russian peace groups, there were statues and plaques everywhere dedicated to peace and honoring those who were lost. There were even museums in the schools to teach the children about WWII which devastated the country, fought on their own land, so it would never happen again.
