  • George Santos Investigated for Prediction Market Trades Amid Threat Controversy
    June 4, 2026, 9:57 PM EDT. Former U.S. Representative George Santos is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department and Commodity Futures Trading Commission for allegedly trading on Kalshi, a prediction market, by misleading the public about attending former President Trump's State of the Union address. Santos reportedly bet against his own attendance while publicly expressing excitement to attend, prompting scrutiny. The Kalshi referral has reached federal authorities in the Southern District of New York and Washington. Santos denied an investigation, claiming his lawyers found no such probe and issued a violent threat toward a reporter, intensifying concern amid his prior congressional misconduct and history of falsehoods.
