U.S. federal authorities have initiated an investigation into Gabriel Perez, the individual who has managed the teleprompter during numerous speeches by President Donald Trump. The investigation centers on suspicions that Perez utilized non-public, inside information to generate financial profits through the Kalshi predictive markets platform.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that Perez is suspected of leveraging advance knowledge regarding the content of Trump’s addresses to place targeted bets. Specifically, investigators are examining transactions executed prior to over a dozen of Trump’s public speeches. This scrutiny includes the “State of the Union” address, a politically significant event for the United States.
According to sources, these suspicious bets were allegedly placed based on predictive knowledge concerning whether the President would mention particular words, topics, or issues during his public appearances. The focus of the federal inquiry is on determining if Perez systematically profited by betting on the content of the speeches before they were made public. The investigation aims to ascertain the extent to which the information gleaned from managing the teleprompter was used for financial speculation on the Kalshi platform.
The proceedings represent a significant examination into the intersection of political communication and financial market activity involving Donald Trump.
