Teleprompter operator allegedly made Kalshi bets on Trump statements; CFTC investigating.

A teleprompter operator is under investigation by federal regulators in connection with bets they allegedly made on the prediction market platform Kalshi related to statements made by President Donald Trump.

"Our surveillance team promptly flagged and referred these trades to the [Commodity Futures Trading Commission] after an exchange investigation," said Robert DeNault, Kalshi's head of enforcement, in a statement to CNBC. "We have been assisting regulators on this matter and provided evidence we collected, as we do in any referral," DeNault said.
