White House teleprompter operator investigated for alleged insider trading on prediction markets.
Gabriel Perez, a White House teleprompter operator who has worked for President Trump since 2016, is under investigation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for allegedly profiting from trades on Kalshi's 'mention markets' using advance knowledge of Trump's prepared remarks. Perez has been placed on unpaid administrative leave and is in settlement talks with regulators; Kalshi identified the suspicious activity through its surveillance systems and referred the matter to the CFTC.
