David Sacks this week took on a big new job: Co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

The job switch may be a distinction without a difference, perhaps, but it highlights one of the ways the Trump administration has tried to bring people into government without making them full-time employees or Senate-confirmed nominees. Those roles usually come with a series of financial disclosure requirements.
