Trump teleprompter operator suspended over betting allegations, White House says
Gabriel Perez allegedly made more than $100,000 by placing bets on the prediction market Kalshi about specific words or phrases that would appear in the president's speeches
A teleprompter operator for Donald Trump, Gabriel Perez, has been suspended without pay and will no longer work at the White House due to allegations of placing bets on the content of the president's speeches. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump "believes it’s deeply unfortunate and frankly a disgrace" and emphasized strict ethical guidelines against such actions. Perez allegedly made over $100,000 by betting on specific words or phrases appearing in Trump's speeches on the prediction market Kalshi, prompting Kalshi to alert the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Investigators reportedly found instances where Perez canceled bets mid-speech when Trump deviated from his planned remarks.
