Democrats Challenge Trump Crypto Czar’s Employment Status
Democratic lawmakers led by Senator Elizabeth Warren are questioning whether David Sacks, President Donald Trump's cryptocurrency and AI advisor, has exceeded legal limits on his temporary government role. The "special government employee" designation permits no more than 130 days of service annually, a threshold the letter suggests may have been breached as early as July 25.
The congressional inquiry highlights tensions around crypto policy oversight, with legislators accusing Sacks of potentially undermining congressional intent. His dual role as venture capitalist and government advisor through Craft Ventures adds fuel to the debate about revolving-door influence in emerging tech regulation.
