Sebastian Gorka was denied security clearance in August 2017 , CBS News reports.

Gorka has been named as Trump 's pick for one of the most important jobs in the counterterrorism firmament.

The job of deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counterterrorism does not require clearance.

It is unclear whether the past concerns that led to the denial of his clearance will impede him from obtaining this higher-level post.

Gorka was involved in efforts to designate Mexico 's drug cartels as a foreign terrorist organization.

Gorka 's return could signal a less disciplined approach to managing the White House , critics say.

"For Trump , process is anathema and discipline is foreign," author Chris Whipple says.
