White House cryptocurrency chief David Sacks sidestepped questions about potential cryptocurrency conflicts of interest for US President Donald Trump in an interview on Friday, saying his personal digital asset projects, such as the controversial meme coin, were "unrelated" to government policy. Asked whether Mr. Trump's cryptocurrency project was affecting industry regulation, Mr. Sacks said: "I don't think it has any impact, it's not related to what we do here." Later, when asked about Mr. Trump's "personal investments" in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, Mr. Sacks shot back sharply, saying "these are unsubstantiated facts", saying there was no evidence that Mr. Trump had personal investments in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.
