White House Teleprompter Operator Suspended Over Alleged Betting on Trump's Speeches

A longtime White House teleprompter operator has been placed on unpaid administrative leave amid allegations he used advance knowledge of President Trump's speeches to profit on prediction markets, reportedly earning roughly $100,000. The case raises fresh questions about insider access and the largely unregulated growth of event-betting platforms like Kalshi. Officials are now probing whether the arrangement broke federal law, testing how the government polices trading on non-public government information.
