ABC News reports that Gabriel Perez, who has served as President Donald Trump’s teleprompter operator since 2016, is accused of using insider knowledge to place bets on Kalshi, a prediction market platform.

According to NDTV and The Verge, federal regulators and investigators are examining the claims, with the focus on how the alleged timing and knowledge of Trump’s remarks could have affected betting activity on Kalshi. The outlets describe Kalshi as a market where participants wager on predictions, including what Trump will say during upcoming speeches. The reporting does not indicate that the underlying accusation has been proven, and it presents the matter as an investigation into whether insider information was misused. Overall, the sources align on the identity of the operator, the platform involved, and the claim that speech-related advance access may have been used to place bets.
