Overview

• Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Melanie Stansbury led House and Senate Democrats in a formal letter asking David Sacks to confirm whether he has surpassed the legal cap for Special Government Employees.
• The letter seeks a complete list of days worked since January, the places where official business occurred, and the name of the official monitoring his compliance, with responses requested within two weeks.
• Lawmakers note that by their calculations Sacks’ 130th day would have passed months ago under common counting methods, with more than 166 business days now elapsed in the administration.
• The White House previously granted ethics waivers allowing Sacks to keep ties to Craft Ventures, and a March memo said he sold over $200 million in digital asset–related holdings before taking the role.
• The inquiry follows reporting on Sacks’ central role in the administration’s crypto agenda, including a stablecoin law signing, as well as a New York Times story tying a UAE AI chip deal to the Trump family’s crypto platform; the White House and Sacks did not immediately comment.
