Top Trump Appointments Vet Sergio Gor Was Born in Uzbekistan, Not Malta as Claimed, Report Says

[douglas9]

Sergio Gor, President Trump’s 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, Gor’s 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.

Malta’s 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.
