Gabriel Perez, a longtime operator of President Trump’s teleprompter, has been placed on unpaid administrative leave and is set to be terminated after winning over $100,000 on the prediction market Kalshi, based on the president’s remarks. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday that Perez “will no longer be here,” according to ABC News and NY Post.
“They’ll be on paid administrative leave,” she said before correcting: “I’m sorry, without pay. The administrative leave is unpaid. To be very clear, that was a decision by the president.”
