Jinse Finance reported that David Sacks, the White House Director of Cryptocurrency and Artificial Intelligence, tweeted that five months ago, The New York Times assigned five reporters to try to fabricate a story about conflicts of interest during his tenure as the White House Director of Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency Affairs. They made a series of allegations through so-called "fact-checking," all of which were refuted by Sacks in detail. The accusations were varied: fabricating dinner meetings with tech giant CEOs, inventing promises of access to the President, and groundlessly accusing him of interfering in defense contracts. Every time they refuted one allegation, The New York Times would move on to the next. This is precisely why the report was delayed for five months. Today, they have apparently given up completely and published this worthless report. Since The New York Times clearly has no intention of writing a fair report, Sacks has hired the law firm Clare Locke, which specializes in defamation lawsuits, to handle the matter.
