White House Crypto Advisor David Sacks Faces Scrutiny Over Potential Ethics Violation
David Sacks, Trump's appointed 'Crypto and AI Czar,' is under fire from Democratic lawmakers for potentially exceeding the 130-day service limit for Special Government Employees. Eight congresspeople have demanded clarity on his tenure duration, citing ethical concerns given his dual role as a Craft Ventures partner and WHITE House advisor.
The controversy highlights growing tension between Silicon Valley's influence and government oversight in emerging tech sectors. Sacks' position as crypto czar places him at the intersection of policy and innovation, though no specific digital assets were mentioned in the allegations.
