Trump Teleprompter Operator Under Investigation After Allegedly Winning $100K on Kalshi

KALSHI-3.02%

According to ABC News, Gabriel Perez, President Trump's teleprompter operator since 2016, allegedly won more than $100,000 on Kalshi's prediction markets over a three-month period, prompting the White House to place him on unpaid administrative leave.

Kalshi's surveillance team flagged and referred the trades to the CFTC, with the regulator's head of enforcement Robert DeNault confirming the referral. Officials have discussed settlement terms requiring Perez to return his profits. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan declined to open a criminal investigation, and no charges have been filed.
