A spokesman for us AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks denied the idea that he might have violated his 130-day limit as a special government employee, following an investigation from several US lawmakers.
The speaker for sacks said CNBC on Wednesday that he carefully managed his days to make sure he stays under the limit and that those days do not need to be followed.
This came after Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and other United States lawmakers questioned whether the sacks had exceeded the number of days under its short -term federal appointment.
“We are investigating whether you may be exceeded by the time for service to your temporary paper as a special White House counselor for AI and Crypto,” the lawmakers write In a letter to sacks, Signed Wednesday by Warren, four other U.S. senators and three US Congress members.
Sacks became a stable advocate for the crypto industry, and his appointment in December 2024 led to the disturbance within the industry and speculation about how he could manage to push crypto policies before The election of 2026 midterm.
Lawmakers say Sacks is “deeply invested” in crypto and AI
The group argued that because the sacks serve as a special government employee (SGE) – a paper limited to 130 working days per year – he should reveal how many days he has served since the inauguration of President Donald Trump on January 20.
Like Wednesday, 167 days of the day excluding public holidays have passed from Trump’s inauguration. To stay for a 130-day limit, sacks will need to take at least 37 days during that period.
The SGES has a 130-day limit to prevent conflict of interest, as SGES often maintains their private sectors while serving the government temporarily. The lawmakers argue that this is in Sack’s best interests to maintain his government duty for his own interests:
“Through craft adventures and your other handling, you are deeply invested in crypto and AI companies that you have the power that affects as the country’s’ crypto and AI czar.” The White House has removed ethical restrictions to allow you to maintain investments in the industries you control. “
Cointelegraph handed David Sacks but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
Warren was lost after David Sacks previously
Earlier this year, Sacks revealed that he sold all his crypto before Trump’s inauguration.
However, Warren had previously discussed the sacks of those claims, asking him on March 6 To be able to back up his claims That he no longer holds digital ownership.
