The White House says a teleprompter operator is on unpaid leave after it was flagged that he may have used information connected to his role to place bets on the online prediction market Kalshi. Multiple outlets report that Kalshi notified federal regulators after activity associated with the operator appeared to involve wagers tied to President Donald Trump’s public remarks—such as what he would say in speeches or addresses. According to reporting, the operator’s Kalshi account or listed wagers indicated predictions related to the president’s upcoming or expected comments. The White House confirmation states that the operator is not being paid while the matter is reviewed. The reports describe the leave as stemming from the regulator referral and the prediction-market alerts, rather than from any publicly detailed findings of wrongdoing. The outlets also note that the allegations relate to the timing and subject matter of the bets, which regulators are reviewing. No outlet in the provided set specifies the outcome of any investigation or whether formal charges have been filed.
