AI advisors and cryptocurrency The White House publicly exchanges with NYT after allegations of conflict of interest

David Sacks stated that The New York Times spent five months investigating the allegations of “conflict of interest” related to his role as an AI and cryptocurrency advisor at the White House. He claimed that the newspaper continuously changed the allegations after previous claims were dismissed. Sacks accused NYT of ignoring or misrepresenting his responses during the investigation. To address the issue, he hired the law firm Clare Locke and publicly shared exchanges with the newspaper.

According to Sacks, the NYT's reporting is inconsistent and the ongoing changes in accusations undermine the credibility of the investigation. By publicly sharing the exchanges, Sacks aims to be transparent and clarify his position on the allegations of conflicts of interest, while emphasizing the cooperative effort but rebutting the information he believes to be inaccurate or misleading.
