Multiple outlets report that President Donald Trump’s longtime teleprompter operator allegedly placed bets on a prediction market tied to Trump’s speeches and earned more than $100,000. ABC News and CBS News, citing sources, say the operator’s gains reached tens of thousands of dollars, with CBS News confirming figures “nearly $100,000.” CBS News identifies the prediction market as Kalshi. The reporting describes the bets as being based on what Trump would say in his remarks, implying insider knowledge of upcoming prepared lines. The New York Post reports that the operator is on leave amid a White House statement from press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who says the operator won more than $100,000 on Kalshi based on the president’s remarks. Across the accounts, the core details align: the individual works as Trump’s teleprompter operator, the betting occurred on Kalshi, and the alleged profit exceeded $100,000 (or nearly that amount). The reports attribute claims to sources and to the White House, but they do not describe any verified outcome beyond the operator’s alleged winnings.
