According to CoinEdition, David Sacks, the White House AI and Crypto Czar, has hired the defamation law firm Clare Locke to challenge The New York Times over a five-month investigation. Sacks claims the NYT fabricated allegations of conflicts of interest, including a false dinner with a tech CEO, nonexistent promises of presidential access, and baseless accusations about influencing defense contracts. A letter from Clare Locke disputes the NYT's portrayal of Sacks' role and the impact of his actions on technology export policies and a $159 million defense contract. Sacks argues the NYT's final article misrepresents the facts and refuses to update its narrative despite repeated fact-checking.
