President Trump announced Friday that his embattled personnel director Sergio Gor is being nominated as ambassador to India — offering Gor a “soft landing” following months of controversy.
Gor, 38, sparked Trump’s explosive falling out in June with billionaire Elon Musk and The Post later revealed that he was dragging his feet on submitting security clearance paperwork, despite vetting thousands of Trump appointees himself.
“That’s what they call a soft landing in Trumpworld,” an administration insider familiar with the situation told The Post.
Several sources said that the FBI recently completed a background check into Gor after he belatedly submitted his so-called Standard Form 86 (SF-86) paperwork, which begins the process for granting a permanent security clearance.
The findings of that review stoked internal intrigue over the past week as they were reviewed by West Wing bosses — with buzz mounting that Gor might be nominated as ambassador to Malta, his professed homeland, in a face-saving move.
He had maintained a temporary security clearance that was believed to have expired last month, though it’s unclear whether any extension was granted.
