Gabriel Perez

Gabriel Perez, a teleprompter operator for former President Donald Trump who had worked at the White House since 2016, is currently on administrative leave. He is under investigation for allegedly using his position to gain inside information and place bets on the content of Trump's speeches, including specific words he would use. These bets were reportedly made on the online prediction market Kalshi, with allegations suggesting he profited nearly $100,000. The White House confirmed his administrative leave, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stating the President was informed and that Perez would no longer be working at the White House. This situation has gained attention due to the potential misuse of insider information by a White House staffer.
