Democrats are investigating Trump crypto advisor David Sacks over a possible SGE violation

Senator Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats believe David Sacks might have violated rules for Special Government Employees.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Representative Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) are leading a group of congressional Democrats in investigating White House Special Advisor David Sacks for possibly serving in his position for longer than he's allowed. "Any effort to stay beyond the time limits imposed on you as a Special Government Employee (SGE) would raise additional ethics concerns for you and the Trump Administration," the group writes in a letter to Sacks,"particularly as it moves to implement recently enacted cryptocurrency legislation and put in place new rules for the crypto industry." Continuing to serve in his role without leaving his position at Craft Ventures or disclosing his investments would only raise more questions about how Sacks stands to benefit from advising on regulation.
