多名政府官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，白宫助手上月收到一封邮件，警告他们不得利用内幕信息在在线预测市场下注。
据两名白宫官员透露，这封邮件于3月24日发出。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获取了白宫管理与预算办公室发送的这封邮件，其中写道：“近期媒体报道引发担忧，有政府官员利用未公开的政府信息在卡拉希（Kalshi）或波利市场（Polymarket）等在线预测市场下注。”
邮件称，“任何人利用未公开信息买卖此类合约均属刑事犯罪”，且“政府道德法规禁止利用未公开政府信息为雇员本人或任何第三方谋取私利”。
邮件补充道：“我们提醒所有白宫雇员，政府雇员为获取经济利益而滥用未公开信息是极其严重的违法行为，绝对不会被容忍。”
邮件还提到，若员工有疑问可咨询白宫法律顾问办公室。
《华尔街日报》最先报道了这封邮件的存在。
白宫发言人戴维·英格尔在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中表示：“特朗普总统一直明确表态：尽管他致力于打造一个让所有人都能获益的强劲且盈利的股市，但国会议员和其他政府官员应当被禁止利用未公开信息谋取经济利益。特朗普总统唯一会优先考虑的特殊利益，就是美国人民的最佳利益。”
他说：“所有联邦雇员都需遵守政府道德准则，禁止利用未公开信息获取经济利益。然而，任何在没有证据的情况下暗示政府官员参与此类活动的报道都是毫无根据且不负责任的。”
据彭博新闻和英国《金融时报》报道，3月23日，特朗普总统在Truth社交平台发帖称，在与伊朗谈判期间，他推迟了对伊朗发电厂的打击行动。但就在发帖前几分钟，石油期货交易出现大幅波动，引发了内幕交易的担忧。
3月25日，也就是警告邮件发给工作人员的次日，白宫发言人库什·德赛告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“所有联邦雇员都需遵守政府道德准则，禁止利用未公开信息获取经济利益。然而，任何在没有证据的情况下暗示政府官员参与此类活动的报道都是毫无根据且不负责任的。”

White House aides got an email last month telling them not to place bets on prediction markets with nonpublic information, multiple administration officials told CBS News.
It was sent March 24, according to two White House officials.
The email from the White House Management Office, which was obtained by CBS News, states: “Recent press reports have raised concerns about government officials using nonpublic government information to place wagers on online prediction markets, such as Kalshi or Polymarket.”
It said it’s a “criminal offense for anyone to use nonpublic information to buy or sell these contracts,” and that “government ethics regulations prohibit the use of nonpublic government information for the private benefit of an employee or any other third party.”
“All White House employees are reminded that the misuse of nonpublic information by government employees for financial benefit is a very serious offense and will not be tolerated,” the email added.
It referred staff to the White House Counsel’s Office if they had questions.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on the existence of the email.
In a statement to CBS News, White House spokesman David Ingle said, “President Trump has been crystal clear: while he seeks a strong and profitable stock market for everyone, members of Congress and other government officials should be prohibited from using nonpublic information for financial benefit. The only special interest that will ever guide President Trump is the best interest of the American people.”
“All federal employees are subject to government ethics guidelines that prohibit the use of nonpublic information for financial benefit,” he said. “However, any implication that Administration officials are engaged in such activity without evidence is baseless and irresponsible reporting.”
On March 23, President Trump posted on Truth Social announcing he was postponing strikes on Iran’s power plants amid talks with Iran. However, just minutes before the post, there was a spike in oil futures trading, according to Bloomberg News and the Financial Times, leading to concerns of potential insider trading.
White House spokesman Kush Desai told CBS News on March 25, the day after the warning email went to staff, that “[a]ll federal employees are subject to government ethics guidelines that prohibit the use of nonpublic information for financial benefit. However, any implication that Administration officials are engaged in such activity without evidence is baseless and irresponsible reporting.”
