预测市场 Kalshi 已对与特朗普总统选择其下一任新闻秘书相关的可疑赌注展开调查，《华尔街日报》报道。
Prediction market Kalshi has opened an investigation into suspicious bets related to President Trump’s selection of his next press secretary, The Wall Street Journal reported.
该公司表示，正在调查其平台上在新闻媒体开始宣布凯蒂·扎卡里亚（Katie Zacharia）被任命为白宫新闻秘书的约下午2点前后至少三笔交易，据该报道。
The company said that it was looking into at least three trades placed on its platform shortly before news outlets began announcing the appointment of Katie Zacharia to the White House press secretary role around 2 p.m., according to the outlet.
在特朗普周五的宣布之前，扎卡里亚被认为只有1%的机会被选中担任此职。
Before Trump’s announcement on Friday, Zacharia was considered as having a one percent chance of being selected for this role.
一笔19美元的赌注，押注她的任命，是在周四晚上下的，预计将获得1896美元的回报。另外两笔约74美元和80美元的赌注，是在周五下午1:41分左右下的，预计将分别获得3689美元和4023美元的回报。
One $19 bet on her appointment was placed on Thursday evening, which is expected to pay out $1,896. Two other bets of around $74 and $80 were placed at 1:41 p.m. on Friday and are expected to pay out $3,689 and $4,023, respectively.
扎卡里亚将接替前白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特（Karoline Leavitt），后者今年早些时候因生子离职，现为福克斯新闻的评论员。
Zacharia will succeed former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who left the role earlier this year after having a child, and is now a commentator for Fox News.
她是一名保守派政治评论员，也是总统媒体公司的传播顾问。扎卡里亚此前曾短暂担任国土安全部的发言人和副助理部长。
She is a conservative political commentator and a communications adviser to the president’s media company. Zacharia previously served a brief stint as a spokesperson and deputy assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security.
特朗普在Truth Social上宣布她的任命时，称赞扎卡里亚是“MAGA的忠实粉丝和成员”。
Trump praised Zacharia as a “devoted fan and member of MAGA” in a Truth Social post announcing her appointment.
“我有信心，凯蒂将作为下一任白宫新闻秘书为我们的国家带来强劲成果，正如她一直受到尊重，并且将与媒体、美国人民以及我的政府出色合作，”总统继续说道。
“I am confident that Katie will deliver strong results for our Country as the next White House Press Secretary, as she has the respect of, and will work fantastically with, the Media, the American People, and my Administration,” the president continued.
7月份，特朗普的提词器操作员加布里埃尔·佩雷斯（Gabriel Perez）因在Kalshi上下注总统演讲并获利超过10万美元而被解职，随后被商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）罚款17.2万美元。
In July, Trump’s teleprompter operator, Gabriel Perez, was removed from his role after he garnered over $100,000 in profits on Kalshi bets he placed on the president’s speeches. Perez was fined $172,000 by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
当被问及此次调查时，白宫告诉《The Hill》参考总统在周五的Truth Social帖子关于扎卡里亚的内容。《The Hill》已联系Kalshi请求置评。
When asked about the investigation, the White House told The Hill to refer to the president’s Friday Truth Social post on Zacharia. The Hill has reached out to Kalshi for comment.
