Where it stands
A former White House teleprompter operator has been ordered to pay a fine of $172,000. The operator was found to have profited from insider trading by betting on the content of former President Trump's speeches.
The operator was initially ordered to turn over profits made from the bets. The fine follows an investigation into the operator's activities on Kalshi, a prediction market platform.
The operator's actions were deemed to constitute insider trading, as they had access to non-public information about the speeches. The fine was reported by multiple outlets, including AP News, Fox Business, The Telegraph, BBC, and The Guardian.
