Democrats Question Trump Crypto Czar’s Employment Status
Democratic lawmakers led by Senator Elizabeth Warren are challenging the employment status of David Sacks, President Donald Trump's top cryptocurrency adviser. Sacks serves under a "special government employee" designation, which legally limits service to 130 days per year. The legislators allege he may have exceeded this limit, potentially violating federal rules.
The controversy centers on whether Sacks' role as crypto and AI czar constitutes temporary service. His position at Craft Ventures while advising the administration raises questions about conflicts of interest. Warren's letter demands documentation of his workdays since January 20, noting the 130-day threshold would have been reached by July 25 if working continuously.
