David Sacks, the White House AI and Crypto Czar, has engaged the defamation law firm Clare Locke to contest allegations made by The New York Times. Sacks accuses the NYT of fabricating claims of conflicts of interest, including a fictitious dinner with a tech CEO and unfounded promises of presidential access. The allegations also involve influencing a $159 million defense contract and technology export policies. A letter from Clare Locke disputes the NYT's portrayal of Sacks' role, asserting that the article misrepresents facts and has not been updated despite repeated fact-checking efforts. Sacks maintains that the NYT's narrative is misleading and seeks to correct the public record.
