Warren has previously raised <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/elizabeth-warren-targets-elon-musk-and-white-house-crypto-czar-david-sacks-with-new-ethics-reform-bill\/\">similar concerns<\/a> around Sacks' appointment.<\/p>\n<h2>Conflict-of-interest worries<\/h2>\n<p>Sacks, a venture capitalist and general partner at Craft Ventures, has played a high-profile role in shaping Trump administration policy on digital assets and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers argued that his private financial ties to Silicon Valley raise serious ethical questions if he is no longer within the bounds of SGE status.<\/p>\n<p>According to the letter:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen issuing your ethics waiver, the White House noted that the careful balance in conflict-of-interest rules for SGEs was reached with the understanding that they would only serve the public \u2018on a temporary basis. For you in particular, compliance with the SGE time limit is critical, given the scale of your conflicts of interest.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The group noted that Sacks\u2019 private salary from Craft Ventures is permissible only under the temporary provisions of his appointment. If he has worked past the legal limit, the lawmakers warned, his continued dual roles could represent a breach of ethics.<\/p>\n<h2>Counting the days<\/h2>\n<p>According to the letter, Sacks was appointed in December 2024 and began working around Trump\u2019s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025. By the lawmakers\u2019 calculation, he reached the 130-day threshold in late May if counting every calendar day, or late July if counting business days.<\/p>\n<p>As of Sept. 17, they said, he had served for 167 days.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Warren, the letter was signed by Sens. Chris Van Hollen, Richard Blumenthal, and Jeffrey Merkley, as well as Reps. Melanie Stansbury, Betty McCollum, Rashida Tlaib, and Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers requested a full accounting of Sacks\u2019 service record and a clarification of his employment status. The White House and Sacks have not publicly responded to the inquiry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic lawmakers pressed David Sacks, President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201ccrypto and AI czar,\u201d on Sept. 17 to disclose whether he has exceeded the time limits of his temporary White House appointment, raising questions about possible ethics violations.
