A longtime White House staffer who has operated President Donald Trump's teleprompter for nearly a decade has been placed on unpaid administrative leave after he allegedly used insider knowledge to make more than $100,000 through prediction market bets.
According to an ABC News report, Gabriel Perez, a technical assistant who has worked as Trump's teleprompter operator since the 2016 presidential campaign, is negotiating a settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over allegations that he repeatedly wagered on the content of Trump's speeches using nonpublic information obtained through his job.
