US 'crypto czar' David Sacks denies overdue posting during Warren review

PANews September 18th news, according to Cointelegraph, a spokesperson for the US "tsar" David Sacks, a US artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency affairs, refuted the claim that he may have broken through the 130-day term limit of "special government employees" (SGE for short). A Sacks spokesman told CNBC on Wednesday that he carefully managed the number of days in the SGE term to ensure that the upper limit is not exceeded and that these days do not need to be continuous. Earlier, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and other U.S. lawmakers questioned whether Sacks exceeded the number of days in their short-term federal office. The group believes that because Sacks serves as a "special government employee" position (the maximum number of days working in this position is 130 days per year), he should disclose the number of days he has served since the inauguration of US President Trump on January 20. As of Wednesday, 167 working days have passed since Trump took office (except for public holidays in the United States). For a limit of no more than 130 days, Sacks will be required to take at least 37 days of leave during this period.
