Trump’s teleprompter operator who bet on speeches no longer working in the government

Gabriel Perez, a former White House teleprompter operator, is no longer employed by the federal government. A White House official confirmed his departure following allegations that Perez used inside knowledge to place bets on President Trump’s speeches. These activities occurred on the online prediction market platform Kalshi, which recently announced that it had flagged suspicious trades related to the presidential speeches. The official confirmation of his job loss was reported to The Hill on Tuesday.
