ABC News reports that Donald Trump's teleprompter operator may have used nonpublic information about presidential speeches to place bets on Kalshi, profiting over $100,000. The platform alerted the CFTC, and the White House placed the employee on unpaid leave.

According to ABC News, sources allege that a teleprompter operator for Donald Trump used non-public knowledge of the president's speeches to place wagers on the prediction market platform Kalshi, with profits exceeding $100,000.

Kalshi reported the incident to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The White House has responded by placing the employee on unpaid leave pending further investigation.
