  • White House Warns Staff Against Using Nonpublic Information for Prediction Market Bets
    April 9, 2026, 9:24 PM EDT. The White House Management Office emailed staff on March 24, warning against using nonpublic government information to place bets on online prediction markets like Kalshi or Polymarket. Such actions are a criminal offense and violate government ethics regulations designed to prevent insider trading and misuse of confidential data. The email stresses that improper financial gain by government employees will not be tolerated and directs staff to the White House Counsel for guidance. The move follows concerns over a spike in oil futures trading minutes before President Trump's March 23 announcement about postponing strikes on Iran's power plants, raising suspicions of potential insider trading. White House spokespeople dismissed allegations against officials, emphasizing a commitment to ethics and the public interest.
