A federal investigation is underway in Washington. It involves a White House employee who operates the teleprompter. This person allegedly made bets on what the president would say in speeches.

The employee's account on a prediction market platform raised suspicions. The account had accumulated a significant amount of money. As a result, the funds were frozen and the account was referred to a trading commission.

Further details about the investigation are available from the source. The White House Press Secretary has confirmed that the president and she have been informed about the matter. The employee in question has been placed on leave without pay.
