As Donald Trump’s director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, Sergio Gor has been called “the most powerful man you’ve never heard of.”
His role gives him access to the intimate secrets of those who want to work for Trump.
But until Tuesday, the country where he was born was itself a secret.
Now the 38-year-old has been revealed to have been born in Tashkent, which is now in Uzbekistan but at the time was part of the Soviet Union—making Gor a Soviet citizen at the time.
The eyebrow-raising disclosure that he was not from Russia, but a Soviet republic, came from a joint investigation by The Times of Malta and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). It reported that Gor was born Sergio Gorokhovsky on Nov. 30, 1986 in Tashkent by matching his name and date of birth to notarized Maltese property record. Gor’s lawyer then confirmed the news, as did the White House.
Gor’s background has been of increasing interest in D.C. since the New York Post reported in June that he had yet to be vetted for a permanent security clearance—despite overseeing the appointments of about 4,000 executive-branch staff to implement Trump’s agenda.
