U.S. Cryptocurrency Official David Sacks Disputes Allegations of Job Overreach During Warren Inquiry
David Sacks, the White House advisor for crypto and AI appointed by President Donald Trump, is currently under scrutiny as lawmakers question the adequacy of current rules governing the conflict of interest and accountability for private-sector professionals serving in government.
The inquiry, led by Senators Bernie Sanders, Richard Blumenthal, Chris Van Hollen, and Jeff Merkley, along with Representatives Betty McCollum and Rashida Tlaib, is focused on Sacks' Special Government Employee (SGE) status. As an SGE, Sacks is allowed to serve temporarily in government while operating under relaxed conflict-of-interest rules.
The letter, signed by the aforementioned lawmakers, raises concerns about the lack of clarity regarding which government officials oversee Sacks' compliance with the 130-day limit for special government officers. The inquiry is aligned with prior efforts to strengthen transparency and ethics rules for temporary government advisors.
The case could lead to tighter enforcement of SGE limits, more rigorous reporting requirements, and increased transparency around policy advisors' activities. It's worth noting that the article does not mention any crypto positions or assets held by Sacks.
Sacks' role involves guiding policy in both the crypto and AI sectors. The inquiry into Sacks' SGE status could have broader implications for how temporary government roles are monitored, particularly in emerging technology sectors like crypto and AI.
